Etymology

The word 'undifferentiable' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'differentiable' from the verb 'differentiate', which comes from the Latin word 'differentiatus', past participle of 'differentiare', meaning 'to distinguish'. The term is commonly used in mathematics to describe functions that are not differentiable at certain points.
