About This Root
From Latin dērīvāre (to lead or draw off water), from dē- (from) + rīvus (stream). The root's "channel from a source" metaphor underlies derive (to trace origin), derivation, and derivative. In mathematics, a derivative measures how a function changes from its source — preserving the original water-channel metaphor remarkably well.
