Phrase "to generate from another or from a set of others"

[Subway]

hello,
does this phrasal verb also mean "to generate from another or from a set of others."?
when a word is generated (derived) from another one, can I informally say that one "comes from" the other?
thanks.

Which phrasal verb?

Yes, you could say that, I think, but 'generated/derived/produced' are better.

Hi,
I was referring to ''come from''.
Thank you.

I don't think that 'come from' is a phrasal verb; it is just 'come' + preposition.
