Traces back to
Derives means to obtain or draw from a source.
You derive satisfaction from work well done, derive income from investments, or derive a conclusion from evidence.
In technical contexts, one thing derives from another when it originates there: English derives many words from Latin.
The passive form is common: The name is derived from Greek.
