derivationn.2

Etymology: < French dérivation2 (Furetière, 1690), noun of action < dériver (dériver 4 in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter) to drift, found in 16–17th cent. as driver , and (according to Darmesteter Dict. Gén.) an adoption of the English drive v., in its nautical sense ‘to drift with the stream or wind’ (compare Acts xxvii. 15), subsequently associated and identified in form with the pre-existing French verb dériver to derive v. In French applied both to the drift or driving of a ship, and (recently) to the drift or deviation of a projectile, and in the later use taken into modern English.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: deriˈvation.
Gunnery.
The deviation of a projectile from its normal course due to its form, motion, the resistance of the air, or wind; spec. the constant inclination of a projectile to the right due to the right-hand spin imparted by the rifling; drift.
