"Derrick" comes from 'Thomas Derrick', a hangman who invented a type of gallows using a movable beam and pulley system during the Elizabethan era. During his lifetime, Derrick executed over 3,000 people, many of them with his modified gallows device, and the supporting framework for his gallows came to be known as a derrick. The term was adopted to describe cranes and other lifting devices which used a similar support mechanism.

A derrick is a drilling, crane-type machine used in on-shore oil drilling operations. The derrick is a large metal tower made out of a pattern of metal tubing called lattice. In the center of the machine is a trolley that can carry whatever tool used for mining. For drilling into the ground the tool is obviously a drill that is dropped from that top of the tower for more force. After the oil drilling is completed the tower is used as the oil spout. If you've ever been to Butte, Montana you'd see these large towers all over the town.
