Word origin

The word 'discarder' is derived from the verb 'discard,' which originated in the late 16th century. The prefix 'dis-' indicates removal or separation, while 'card' refers to the act of getting rid of cards in card games. Over time, 'discarder' has evolved to encompass a broader meaning of someone or something that discards or eliminates items or ideas.
