  == SYNOPSIS
-*rename* [options] _expression replacement file_...
+*rename* [options] _original replacement file_...
== DESCRIPTION -*rename* will rename the specified files by replacing the first occurrence of _expression_ in their name by _replacement_.
+*rename* will rename the specified files by replacing the first occurrence of the _original_ substring in their name by _replacement_.

Instead of using the word "original" (where I would first think: original
what?), why not use "substring"?  It describes what the thing actually is,
and fits better in the rest of the existing wording.
