Deriving

Again, we can see this approach as deriving from Matthew Arnold's idea that everywhere there is connection.

Many an insect deriving its delicate colour from harmless leaves and herbs, was stained anew that day by dying men, and marked its frightened way with an unnatural track.

Encomium is a Latin word deriving from the Ancient Greek enkomion, meaning "the praise of a person or thing."

As there were supposed to be four elements, fire, air, water, and earth, so there were supposed to be four classes of elementals or spirits of the elements, namely, Salamanders, Sylphs, Undines, and Gnomes, inhabiting these elements respectively, and deriving their characters therefrom.
