Primitive nouns are nouns whose origin cannot be deduced from any other word (for example or earth, or fire, and or father), while derivative nouns are nouns that are formed in various ways from words of other grammatical categories. Primitive nouns stand on their own and are separate from other words. Derivative nouns, on the other hand, are formed by the addition of affixes to words in other grammatical categories.
