Word origin

The word 'derivable' originates from the Latin word 'derivabilis,' which means 'that can be derived.' It entered the English language in the late 16th century. The term is commonly used in mathematics to refer to functions that can be derived or calculated. Over time, its usage has expanded to describe things that can be obtained or acquired from a particular source or origin.
