作起源的时候,最好用derive from.
可以参照朗文英英词典解释：
derive：
1 [T] to get something,usually a pleasant feeling,from something or someone.(derive及物动词的时候,一般指的是feeling)
derive sth from:He derived some comfort from the fact that he wasn't the only one to fail the exam.
2 [I] to develop or come from something else（这个才是你要的意思）
[+ from] This word is derived from Latin.
