Origin & History

Formed from Latin-derived 'discriminate' (via Medieval Latin 'discriminat-') + the adverbial suffix '-ly'; however, the standard adverb in modern usage is 'discriminatingly'.

लैटिन-मूल 'discriminate' (मध्ययुगीन लैटिन 'discriminat-' के माध्यम से) + क्रिया-विशेषण प्रत्यय '-ly' से बना; लेकिन आधुनिक मानक प्रयोग में प्रचलित क्रिया-विशेषण 'discriminatingly' है।

Definition

Used to describe doing something by making careful distinctions or choices, not indiscriminately; in modern standard English it is rare and often treated as a nonstandard variant of 'discriminatingly' or 'selectively'.

किसी काम को सोच-समझकर भेद/अंतर करते हुए या चयन करके करना; आधुनिक मानक अंग्रेज़ी में यह शब्द दुर्लभ है और अक्सर 'discriminatingly' या 'selectively' का गैर-मानक रूप माना जाता है।
