Derivation may also be used as a synonym for proof, particularly for formulae.
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In linguistics, derivation is the process of creating new lexemes from other lexemes, for example by adding a derivational affix.Derivational affixes usually apply to words of one syntactic category and change them into words of another syntactic category. For example, the English derivational suffix -ly changes adjectives into adverbs (slow > slowly).
Some examples of English derivational suffixes:
Note that derivational affixes are bound morphemes. In that, derivation differs from compounding, where free morphemes are combined. It also differs from inflection in that inflection does not change a word's syntactic category and does not create new lexemes, but new word forms.
For other processes of word formation, cf. conversion and compounding.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | TEDIUM, n. Ennui, the state or condition of one that is bored. Many fanciful derivations of the word have been affirmed, but so high an authority as Father Jape says that it comes from a very obvious source -- the first words of the ancient Latin hymn Te Deum Laudamus. In this apparently natural derivation there is something that saddens. |
