derived
Obtained from source
Derived describes something obtained or developed from a source.
A word may be derived from Latin, a conclusion derived from evidence, or a product derived from petroleum.
The term often appears in technical contexts: a derived formula, derived data.
To say something is derived emphasizes its secondary nature—it comes from something else rather than standing on its own.
