abgeleitet vs ursprünglich

original / originally

'ursprünglich' and 'abgeleitet' are often opposites. 'ursprünglich' describes something at the beginning or in its original form. 'abgeleitet' describes something that developed from something else or was inferred from it. The words can be confused because both talk about origin. The difference is: 'ursprünglich' is the source or the first state, while 'abgeleitet' is something that was later developed from that source.
