It marks the origin - the point where the horizontal and vertical axes cross.
It means 35 miles from the point of origin - NOT there and back.

You're thinking of the origin. The origin is the point (0,0)
The word "origin" means the point (0, 0) on the x-y plane. The meaning of the phrase "origin of an object" is much less certain.
The medical term for nearest the point of attachment is "proximal."
The point of attachment of a muscle by means of a tendon to the stationary bone is called the origin.
This term refers to anatomical structures that are located near the center of the body or the point where a limb attaches to the trunk. It is often used to describe the position of organs, bones, muscles, or other body parts.
Proximal means nearer the point of origin.
Distal refers to a location that is situated away from the point of origin or attachment in the body. It is the opposite of proximal, which means closer to the point of origin.
The term you are looking for is "distal." It is used in anatomy to describe a body part that is farthest from the point of attachment or origin.
The less movable attachment point of a muscle is called the origin. This is typically the point of attachment that remains relatively fixed during muscle contraction, while the other end, known as the insertion, moves towards the origin.

Origin
The two attachment points are the origin and insertion. The origin is the immovable (or slightly moveable point. The insertion is the movable point. The insertion always moves towards the origin.
The origin is more proximal than the insertion for the attachment of muscles in the chicken wing. The origin is the fixed point of attachment, typically closer to the center of the body or the point of reference, while the insertion is the movable point of attachment, typically further away from the center of the body.
Origin and Insertion One of the points of attachment is the ORIGIN (typically the non-moving point of attachment). The other point of attachment is the INSERTION (typically the moving point of attachment). For example - when the brachialis muscle (located on the upper arm) contracts - it shortens the distance between the origin (on the humerus - the upper arm bone and the insertion (on the radius - the forearm bone). The humerus does not move, but the radius does move - it moves closer to the humerus.
