Based on the context and the definition, the word 'derivative' makes reference to something that is not the result of an original idea, but something that has been based on something else.

In this excerpt from "Poetry" by Marianne Moore, 'derivative' is used as an adjective in order to describe "things".<u> 'Derivative' is used to refer to something that does not offer new ideas because it has been developed from something else</u>. It has a negative connotation since it is used to criticize something. Moreover, in this excerpt, it is highly connected to the idea of  unintelligibility.

How does Tolstoy describe death in chapters 5-8 of “The Death of Ivan Ilyich”
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:When Iván Ilych's brother-in-law comes to visit before New Years, he is shocked to see how Iván Ilych has changed. After admitting that he sees a change, the brother-in-law refuses to speak more about it to Iván Ilych. Iván Ilych locks himself in a room to examine his reflection in the mirror, comparing it to a portrait of himself taken with his wife. The change is immense. He then goes out and eavesdrops on his brother-in-law and wife in the drawing room. Though Praskóvya Fëdorovna denies that the change is great, her brother insists: "Why, he's a dead man! Look at his eyes ­ there's no light in them" (143).
