non-rotating origin (NRO)

in the context of the GCRS or the ITRS, the point on the intermediate equator such that its instantaneous motion with respect to the system (GCRS or ITRS as appropriate) has no component along the intermediate equator (i.e. its instantaneous motion is perpendicular to the intermediate equator). It is called the CIO and TIO in the GCRS and ITRS, respectively.
