undifferentiated

/əndɪfɝˈɛnʃiˌeɪtɪd/ adj

Not differentiated, not different, alike.

Word Origin Undifferentiated means not yet made different. The root is Latin differre 'to carry apart' — to distinguish. The same root gives us differ, different, and even aquifer (water-carrier). The prefix un- negates it, so undifferentiated cells haven't yet been 'carried apart' into distinct types.
