/ˈˌnɑnɔriˈɛn(t)əb(ə)l/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: non- prefix, orientable adj.

Etymology: < non- prefix + orientable adj.

Mathematics.

Of a manifold (manifold n.¹ 5): not having a well-defined global coordinate system; not orientable; spec. (of a surface) such that a figure in the surface can be continuously transformed into its mirror image by taking it round a closed path in the surface.
