In linguistics, a derivation derives a new word from an existing word by adding or removing an affix (prefix or suffix).

I'm interested only in clipped words since I have to research whether clipping is a productive process.

@fresco,
Now THAT is a word I've never heard before. It has to be an americanism.

What else is lurking out there?
Debus? Deboat? Depool? Decar? Very Happy

@roger,
I think it's just a clipped word, not a derivation
