Origin of the word discernible

"Discernible" originates from the Latin verb "discernere," meaning "to separate, distinguish, or perceive clearly." It's a combination of "dis" (apart) and "cernere" (to sieve or separate). The word evolved through Old French ("descerner") and Middle English ("discernen") before solidifying in its current form.
