Formed by adding '-ed' to the verb 'differentiate'; the meaning 'made different or distinct' follows directly.

Etymology

The word differentiated comes from Latin parts dis- 'apart' and ferre 'to carry', and it is related to the common word different; think of it as 'carrying apart' so things are not the same. So something differentiated is made separate or special from others.
