原来 (yuánlái) means "originally" (similar to [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/%E6%9C%AC%E6%9D%A5 本来]) or "former." It can also mean "all along" and can be used to indicate a sudden realization of something previously unknown—a bit like "so it's been like that all along, how could I not have realized?"
