(The opposite of indiscriminate is discriminate)


Woosh


I don't get it...


The root word at play is CRIM

See also crime, criminal


Replace the "te" with "l"


I'm still lost?


It's a (bad IMHO) attempt at sardonic humor by punning on the word "criminal".


'criminate => criminal

The "te with l" tip was for the original "'criminate" and not very clear.


Duh I'm sorry I thought that that was an "i". I kept thinking is that some Latin form of pluralizing the word. Oops. Where's my coffee...
