Etymology

The word combines the negative prefix "in-" (from Latin, meaning "not") with "distinguish" (from Latin "distinguere," meaning "to separate or mark as different") and the suffix "-able" (indicating capability). Originally, "distinguish" referred to physically marking differences, but over time, it broadened to include perceptual or conceptual differentiation. "Indistinguishable" thus logically evolved to describe things that cannot be separated or differentiated, whether physically or abstractly.
