Etymology

The French adjective *indifférent* comes from the Latin *indifferens*, the present participle of *indifferre* (“to carry apart”). *Indifferre* itself is formed from *in-* “not” + *differrere*, a compound of *deferre* “to carry” with the prefix *di‑* “apart, separately”. The term entered French in the Middle Ages, preserving the sense of “unconcerned, indifferent” that it still carries today.
