every empire, river, and grudge can be traced back to one unremarkable starting point
means the point or source from which something arises, begins, or is ultimately derived.
from From Latin 'origo,' meaning a beginning, source, or birth — itself rooted in the verb 'oriri,' to rise or come into being. That same verb gives us 'orient' (the direction of the rising sun) and 'aboriginal' (those there from the very beginning). The word reached English through French 'origine' in the late Middle Ages.
