Deriniai

Deriniai is a term used in several disciplines to denote items that are formed from something else—derived forms, compounds, or derivative works. Its exact meaning depends on the field. In linguistics, related concepts describe words produced from a base by affixation, compounding, or other morphological processes, such as a noun derived from a verb. In chemistry, a derivative or derivatized compound refers to a substance obtained from a parent compound by a reaction that introduces or modifies functional groups. In copyright and publishing, a derivative work is a new creation based on an existing work, such as translations, adaptations, or sequels, to which the original author may hold rights.

The concept also appears in mathematics and data science, where one may speak of derived quantities or derived datasets calculated from primary data. Across fields, deriniai or its equivalents emphasize the relationship between the original source and the produced item, often involving transformation, modification, or extension.

Etymology varies; in many languages the root implies turning or creating something from another thing. The precise usage and terminology should be guided by field-specific definitions, standards, or legal frameworks.
