the.com/discrimination

means The ability to notice fine differences between things — a skill when applied to wine or art, and a moral failure when applied to people.

from From Latin discriminare, 'to divide, distinguish,' built from discrimen, 'a dividing line' — itself from discernere, the root 'discern' shares. For centuries it simply meant careful distinction-making, a compliment. Only in the 19th and 20th centuries did English narrow a second sense onto the word: distinction applied unjustly to people rather than things, and that sense gradually took over the word's reputation.
