'derived' isn't the correct term here possibly. More like they both derive from the same common term 'gezel' (which is also a word on it's own meaning 'buddy' or 'fellow traveller' or 'fellow worker'). In gezel-lig the 'lig' is for making it an adjective. In gezel-schap the 'schap' ('schaft' in German) indicates something like 'more people' or 'company'.
