If you need precision for the placing, select the place (maybe a vertex, a face, a bone or whatever) and press Shift S “Cursor to selected”, then again set origin.
How does the armature of a bone rotate?
In Object Mode, the whole armature rotates around this. In Pose Mode, every bone usually rotates around it’s own root unless constrained in some way. You are in Edit Mode where neither necessarily applies. There, stuff rotates around the pivot point.
How do you change the coordinates of a bone?
Tip and root will have changed their coordinates. You select an entire bone (blue, Pose Mode) and it rotates around its root. This is a true rotation because only the direction in which the bone points has changed. Tip: use CTRL F3 with ‘Fullscreen’ disabled to make screenshots.
