One way to hold this word: two things sit side by side and look the same, and someone sees that they are not. Everything discernment means grows out of that moment — seeing a difference that was really there but hard to see.
這個字可以想成兩樣東西並排放著，看起來一樣，可是有人看出它們不一樣。discernment 的各種意思，都像是從這一刻長出來的——看出一個本來就在、只是不好看見的差別。
From the word’s history
Wiktionary gives discernment as from Middle French discernement, equivalent to discern plus -ment. The -ment turns the act of telling apart into a thing, which is exactly what the core image shows.
根據 Wiktionary，discernment 來自中古法文 discernement，等於 discern 加 -ment。-ment 把「分辨」這個動作變成一個名詞，正好就是核心畫面在做的事。
