Word origin

The word 'indiscriminateness' is derived from the combination of the prefix 'in-' meaning 'not' or 'without', and the word 'discriminateness', which comes from the Latin word 'discriminare' meaning 'to distinguish'. Thus, 'indiscriminateness' has evolved to describe the state of lacking differentiation or selectivity.
