If that's what you mean. Derived and inherited are almost opposites.

Given:

struct A {
virtual void f();
virtual void g();
};

struct B : A {
virtual void g();
};

If I had to guesss at the meaning of "derived method", I would tend to
say that B::g() is a derived method of A. Of course calling a derived
method in that case makes no sense for anything that's actually a B.

I would say that A::f() is an "inherited method" of B.

Now I'm guessing that you wanted to do something like calling A::g()
from B::g()?
