Origin transform toggle shown in Menu.
To set origin, simple way is just "Ctrl+ Dot ". It's been long time I've tried to search this function in menu Object> Set Origin..
Press Ctrl+ Dot, solves the problem. It's like a hidden feature. Please make blender friendly to "New user" by taking tools from shortcut to proper menu.
For other feature, please make it visible and easy to find. Expert or Full time blender users are fine, but it's not friendly for new user from other software.

Get used to 3d cursor, you can set origin to anywhere by positioning 3d cursor- and assign any shortcut to set origin-3d cursor (Alt+Shift+O). you also various option like cursor to selected where you can select any face and set cursor there and set origin to 3d cursor option. even by selecting 1,2, 3 or any vertices. you can also hold Shift and drag with RMB to position 3d cursor anywhere and if you press CTRL it will start snapping also (check vertex option in snap before that)
It's here:
It's not an operator or a tool, it's an option of the transform operators.
