underived
From no source
Underived means not derived from something else—original, primary, or fundamental.
The term appears mainly in philosophy and linguistics, where it describes concepts, terms, or entities that exist independently rather than being traced back to prior sources: Some philosophers argue that certain moral truths are underived.
The opposite of derived.
