Verb CEFR C2

To make less distinct; to obscure any differentiation.

Examples

“Religious indifferentiation therefore stands for a third category of relation with the sacred, situated between the full identification of the sacred with the profane (as in ecstatic states) and their total separation (as in modern, disenchanted culture). Typically, folk religiosity greatly affirms the disposition to “indifferentiate”.”
“In Britain, Gay Times discreetly became GT in March 2007, presumably all the better to indifferentiate it from the titles of other magazines, such as GQ and FHM, and thereby to consolidate continuities within the male homosocial spectrum.”
