    For every prefix of an infinite word, the respective derivated word is the infinite word which codes the sequence of return words for this prefix. It is known from the 1998 paper by \textit{F. Durand} [Discrete Math. 179, No. 1--3, 89--101 (1998; Zbl 0895.68087)] that if the initial infinite word is a fixed point of a primitive morphism, the number of its derivated words is finite. It is also known that if the initial word is Sturmian, then so are its derivated words. This paper is devoted to derivated words for Sturmian fixed points of primitive morphisms. With no surprise, they are also Sturmian fixed points of morphisms, and their list can be given explicitly. Also, many previous results very close to this new one are listed and classified in the text.
