Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum

Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the combination of 'negligible' (from Late Latin 'negligibilis', meaning 'that may be neglected') and 'difference' (from Latin 'differentia', from 'differre', meaning 'to set apart or differ'). The compound phrase emerged in modern scientific, statistical, and legal contexts to describe variances so small as to be safely ignored.
