Derived Word

a new word in a language formed from preexisting words by using active models of word-formation and composition. In synchronous linguistics, all words that can be divided into morphemes are considered derived words, regardless of the words’ origins; this includes words whose divisibility is historically secondary. From the standpoint of modern Russian, for example, the word zontik (“umbrella”) is derived fron zont (also meaning “umbrella”), whereas historically zont is derived from zontik (from the Dutch zondek). On the other hand, many words that arose as derived words were de-etymologized and are no longer perceived as derived words; for example, kol’tso (“ring”) is historically a diminutive of kolo (“circle”).
