Comes from diverse changes (7)

I believe the answer is:

derives

'comes from' is the definition.
('derive' can be a synonym of 'come from')

'diverse changes' is the wordplay.
'changes' indicates anagramming the letters.
'diverse' anagrammed gives 'DERIVES'.

(Another definition for derives that I've seen is " Draws from in diverse way".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
