[L. discretus, p. p. of discernere.
See {Discreet}.]
1. Separate; distinct; disjunct. --Sir M. Hale.
2. Disjunctive; containing a disjunctive or discretive
clause; as, ``I resign my life, but not my honor,'' is a
discrete proposition.

coalescent.
{Discrete movement}. See {Concrete movement of the voice},

{Discrete proportion}, proportion where the ratio of the
means is different from that of either couplet; as,
3:6::8:16, 3 bearing the same proportion to 6 as 8 does to
16. But 3 is not to 6 as 6 to 8. It is thus opposed to
continued or {continual proportion}; as, 3:6::12:24.
{Discrete quantity}, that which must be divided into units,
as number, and is opposed to {continued quantity}, as
duration, or extension.
\Dis*crete"\, v. t. To separate. [Obs.] --Sir T. Browne. |
