Borrowed from Late Latin undulātus (“undulated”), see -ate (adjective-forming suffix).

First attested in 1664; borrowed from New Latin undulātus, the perfect passive participle of undulō (see -ate (verb-forming suffix)), from an unattested *undula (“small wave”), diminutive of Latin unda (“wave”).
