derivative
Instantaneous rate measure
Derivative describes something derived from or based on something else, often implying a lack of originality: The film felt derivative of better sci-fi.
In finance, a derivative is a contract whose value derives from an underlying asset like stocks or commodities: futures and options are common derivatives.
In calculus, the derivative measures the rate of change of a function—how quickly one quantity changes relative to another.
