What's the difference between a derivate and a derivative?
(I'm not being facetious, I'd really rather like to know)
- IAmBroom 8mo agoNear as I can tell, they are essentially synonyms, but in practice "derivate" is "a product obtained chemically from a raw material", while "derivative" tends to be used in the mathematical or financial senses.
- gausswho 8mo agoKinda like orient and orientate. Maybe there's a word for this class of variations. Or variants?
- danaris 8mo agoOr variates?
- SAI_Peregrinus 8mo agoIf there isn't already, "variantate" seems appropriate to mean "inappropriately adding the suffix -ate".
- tokai 8mo agoMM120 is just a patented LSD. So its just a brandname LSD.
- ksaj 8mo agoExactly. The medical cannabis industry has been doing this right from the start. Thankfully they do tell you what strains they got their cultivar from, though.
- throwforfeds 8mo agoThey can control the supply and make more money off of it. And you can pay lobbiests to make sure the original LSD stays illegal.
