Etymology

The term 'discounter' originates from the word 'discount,' which comes from the Latin 'discadere,' meaning 'to subtract.' The practice of offering discounts in retail can be traced back to the early 20th century as businesses began to recognize the importance of attracting price-sensitive consumers. Discounters emerged as a distinct category in the retail industry during the 1960s when companies like Walmart and Aldi revolutionized the shopping experience by providing items at significantly reduced prices. The concept of discount retailing has since expanded globally, adapting to various markets and consumer trends, cementing the role of discounters as a mainstay in modern commerce.
