reaction-derived
|re-ac-tion-de-rived|
/riˈækʃən dɪˈraɪvd/
originating from a reaction
Etymology
'reaction-derived' originates from the combination of 'reaction' and 'derived', where 'reaction' comes from Latin 'reactio', meaning 'a response or action', and 'derived' comes from Latin 'derivare', meaning 'to draw off or away'.
'reaction' changed from the Latin word 'reactio' and 'derived' from 'derivare', eventually forming the modern English term 'reaction-derived'.
Initially, 'reaction' meant 'a response or action', and 'derived' meant 'to draw off or away', evolving into the current meaning of 'originating from a reaction'.
