Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the verb 'discount', which stems from Old French 'desconter' (composed of the prefix 'des-' meaning 'away' or 'off', and 'conter' meaning 'to count'), ultimately originating from Late Latin 'computare'. Over time, the financial sense evolved to describe calculating the present value of future cash flows, while the general meaning expanded to include dismissing ideas or information as unworthy of consideration.
