Root, derivation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

origin

This clue is a double definition.

'root' is the first definition.
(I know that root can be written as origin)

'derivation' is the second definition.
(I know that origin is a type of derivation)

(Other definitions for origin that I've seen before include "Where one begins" , "For a start" , "Genesis" , "Source, derivation" , "extraction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
