Etymology

“Indiscrétion” comes from the Latin noun *indiscretio*, the feminine form of *indiscretus* “not discreet”. *Indiscretus* is built from the negative prefix *in-* + *discretus*, itself from *discernere* “to distinguish, to discern”. The word entered French in the 17th century, initially meaning a lack of discretion and later specializing to the act of divulging private matters.
