What English words are derivatives of discover?

The word "discover" doesn't have a huge number of direct, common derivatives in the way some words do. Its offspring are more often built *around* the concept of discovery rather than being direct morphological descendants.

However, you could argue for these, with varying degrees of directness:

* Discovery: This is the most straightforward noun derivative.

* Discoverer: This is the noun denoting the person who discovers something.

* Undiscovered: This is an adjective indicating something hasn't been discovered.

Words like "rediscover" are arguably compounds rather than true derivatives, as they use "re-" as a prefix rather than a suffix changing the root word itself. Similarly, words that incorporate "discovery" as part of a larger term (e.g., "scientific discovery") are not derivations in the strict linguistic sense.
