Meanings

1. (not-comparable) Having a derivative, said of a function whose domain and codomain are manifolds.
   • A function which is differentiable wherever it is continuous is said to possess ordinary continuity. 1896 August, W. Williams, “On the Convergency of Fourier's Series”, in The London, Edinburgh and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and .Journal of Science, volume 42, number 255, page 137:
2. (comparable, of multiple items) able to be differentiated; distinguishable, as for example by differing appearance or measurable characteristics.
   • It would, in that case, have been as real as it now is, and would have been differentiable from its Maker as an effect is differentiable from its cause. 1890, Randolph Sinks Foster, Studies in Theology, page 117:
