derivatively

/dɝˈɪvətɪvli/ adv

In a derivative fashion

Word Origin The image is water: Latin 'rivus' means 'stream', and 'derivare' meant to draw off water from a main stream. That's literally what derivative means — something drawn off from a source. The breakdown de+riv+ative+ly shows 'de-' (off), 'riv' (stream), and suffixes. So derivatively means doing something in a way that branches off from an original. The same 'rivus' gives us river, rival (originally someone using the same stream), and arrive (to come to the shore, from 'ad' + 'ripa' but related idea of water).
