'muscle-derived' originates from the combination of 'muscle' and 'derived', where 'muscle' comes from Latin 'musculus', meaning 'little mouse', and 'derived' comes from Latin 'derivare', meaning 'to lead or draw off'.

'Muscle' changed from the Latin word 'musculus' to the Old French 'muscle', and eventually became the modern English word 'muscle'. 'Derived' evolved from the Latin 'derivare' to the Old French 'deriver', and eventually became the modern English word 'derived'.

Initially, 'muscle' referred to a 'little mouse' due to the shape of muscles under the skin, and 'derived' meant 'to lead or draw off'. Over time, 'muscle-derived' evolved to mean 'originating from muscle tissue'.
