denominative

From Late Latin dēnōminātīvus, a calque of παρώνυμος (parṓnumos, “derivative”). It originally had the meaning “derived”,[1] but in its grammatical sense, it has developed the meaning “from a noun”, perhaps a reinterpretation of the Latin morphemes that it consists of: the preposition dē (“from”) and the stem of nōmen (“noun”).
