What country does the word discrimination originate from?

Answer 1

in the adverse usually racial sense discriminate was first recorded in the united states in 1866

so discrimination in this sense was probably not far behind nor far away in emerging from it

in the positive sense of discernment discrimination is much older & derives ultimately from latin

so Britain or even Italy could be said to be the country of origin in that case

Answer 2

The word "discrimination" originates from the Latin word "discriminatio," which means to distinguish or differentiate between things. It does not have a specific country of origin, as Latin was spoken in ancient Rome and influenced many languages worldwide.
