In a conversation, I heard someone saying "Prime Order" to describe a certain origin. It was several seconds later that I realised she had said "primordial" ~ I had misheard it as "Prime Order" but the latter made so much sense to me, even more meaningful than "primordial".
(In this post, I will ignore the "Prime Order" context in Mathematics.)
"Primordial" has strong connotations of something amoebically simple, primitive, unformed.
"Prime Order" allows the cognizance, sense and remembrance of something that's meant to be, that all is in right order.
"Prime Order" is so much better.
Namarie! 💙
PS. From Etymonline
primordial(adj.)
late 14c., "being or pertaining to the source or beginning," from Late Latin primordialis "first of all, original," from Latin primordium "a beginning, the beginning, origin, commencement," from primus "first" (see prime (adj.)) + stem of ordiri "to begin" (see order (n.)). The sense of "first in order, earliest, existing from the beginning" is from 1785. Related: Primordially. Primordial soup as the name for the conditions believed to have been present on Earth circa 4.0 billion years ago, and from which life began, in J.B.S. Haldane's theory, is by 1934.
