What's the difference between derivation and differentiation?

Derivation


Definition:

  • (n.) A leading or drawing off of water from a stream or source.
  • (n.) The act of receiving anything from a source; the act of procuring an effect from a cause, means, or condition, as profits from capital, conclusions or opinions from evidence.
  • (n.) The act of tracing origin or descent, as in grammar or genealogy; as, the derivation of a word from an Aryan root.
  • (n.) The state or method of being derived; the relation of origin when established or asserted.
  • (n.) That from which a thing is derived.
  • (n.) That which is derived; a derivative; a deduction.
  • (n.) The operation of deducing one function from another according to some fixed law, called the law of derivation, as the of differentiation or of integration.
  • (n.) A drawing of humors or fluids from one part of the body to another, to relieve or lessen a morbid process.

Differentiation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of differentiating.
  • (n.) The act of distinguishing or describing a thing, by giving its different, or specific difference; exact definition or determination.
  • (n.) The gradual formation or production of organs or parts by a process of evolution or development, as when the seed develops the root and the stem, the initial stem develops the leaf, branches, and flower buds; or in animal life, when the germ evolves the digestive and other organs and members, or when the animals as they advance in organization acquire special organs for specific purposes.
  • (n.) The supposed act or tendency in being of every kind, whether organic or inorganic, to assume or produce a more complex structure or functions.
