derby
Local rivalry match
A derby is a race or competition, especially a horse race or a sporting event between local rivals: the Kentucky Derby, a crosstown derby.
The word also names a stiff felt hat with a rounded crown and narrow brim—called a bowler in British English.
A roller derby is a contact sport on roller skates.
Derby comes from the Earl of Derby, who founded the famous English horse race.
