stammend vs ursprünglich

original / originally

'ursprünglich' and 'stammend' can both point to the origin of someone or something. 'ursprünglich' often describes how something was at the beginning or where someone first came from. 'stammend' is used especially with 'aus' and states an origin: from a place, a time period, a family, or a source. The words can be confused when origin is involved. 'stammend aus' is more precise when you want to say directly where something comes from. 'ursprünglich' is broader and can also describe an earlier plan, state, or name.
