| + | In [[linguistics]], '''derivation''' is the process of forming a new word on the basis of an existing word, e.g. ''happi-ness'' and ''un-happy'' from ''happy'', or ''determination'' from ''determine''.

| - | A '''miracle''', [[derivation (linguistics)|derived]] from the old [[Latin]] word ''miraculum'' meaning "something wonderful", is a striking interposition of divine intervention by [[God]] in the [[universe]] by which the ordinary course and operation of [[Nature]] is overruled, suspended, or modified. Although many [[religion|religious]] texts and people confirm [[witness]]ing or [[prophecy|prophesying]] various events which they refer to as "miraculous", it is disputed whether there are [[scientific method|scientifically confirmed]] occurrences of miracles. People in different faiths have substantially different [[definition]]s of the word "miracle". Even within a specific religion there is often more than one usage of the term. | ||

In linguistics, derivation is the process of forming a new word on the basis of an existing word, e.g. happi-ness and un-happy from happy, or determination from determine. Derivation stands in contrast to the process of inflection, which uses another kind of affix in order to form grammatical variants of the same word, as with determine/determine-s/determin-ing/determin-ed.
