OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The word 'originate' and the expression 'impossible ... their roots' speak about the origin of words. 'Archaism' refers to the use of archaic features in a language or art. The context indicates that words originate from distant past but get influenced by alien cultures. Thus, the answer is choice A (archaism) and choice D (antiquity).
