Morphology
discriminative = discriminate (transparent) = discriminate + ive
Formed by adding the adjectival suffix '-ive' to the verb 'discriminate', yielding the predictable meaning 'having the quality of discriminating'.
Etymology
Discriminative comes from the Latin root discrimen, which means 'separation' and is the same root as discern, 'to see or tell apart'. So a discriminative person or test notices small differences and can choose wisely.
