The value of such a derived function for a given value of its independent variable: the rate of change of a function at a point in its domain.
The linear operator that maps functions to their derived functions, usually written D; the simplest differential operator.
Any of several related generalizations of the derivative: the directional derivative, partial derivative, Fréchet derivative, functional derivative, etc.
A chemical derived from another.
The derived function of f(x): the function giving the instantaneous rate of change of f; equivalently, the function giving the slope of the line tangent to the graph of f. Written f'(x) or (df)/(dx) in Leibniz's notation, ̇f(x) in Newton's notation (the latter used particularly when the independent variable is time).
Having a value that depends on an underlying asset of variable value.
Lacking originality.
