Derivative with respect to an operator acting on the adjoint operator

I'm a retarded undergrad, but I'm trying to see how to get from the Lagrangian of a Dirac field to the Dirac function. This is literally brainlet tier stuff, but I can't understand why the derivative of the adjoint operator, Or alternatively, as in pic related,
By the way,
In the off chance someone on here isn't retarded, could you please explain why this is?
