Usage
For use in the Etymology sections of an entry to show component terms from which it was immediately derived in the same language. It is intended to complement.

For example, can be broken down thus:
 * ( = ( + en: or ) + ) + }

by using this wikitext:
 *  ( = ( + en: or ) + ) +  OR  

Using utilizes the existing suffix category system and is preferred at this time. Note the omitted parameter. (Similarly, .)

Categorization
This is intended to populate a set of categories with names of the form "Category:[languagename] words derived from: 'referential'[ ('pos')][ Etymology 'etynum'].

The optional pos and etynum parameter put the entry in a category named for the target section within complex entries that may have more than one part of speech or more than one etymology section.
