Morphology
undifferenced = differenced (transparent) = un + difference + ed
Clear negation of the past-participle/adjectival form 'differenced' (i.e., 'not subjected to differencing'), which directly matches the technical definition.
Etymology
Undifferenced is built from un- 'not' and differenced 'changed by taking differences'. A helpful way to remember the data meaning is that undifferenced data are the original numbers 'not changed' by subtracting earlier values, so they are the raw series you start with.
