Discrete means individually separate and distinct
Discrete means separate, distinct and disconnected.

More Definitions of Discrete

Discrete means separate, distinct, and disconnected.
Discrete means, with respect to covered material, a product, or any other physical good, a single physical instantiation of a unique item or material, rather than embodiments of such good generally or the good’s generic name, type, or category. Goods used to refill or reuse packaging are discrete items distinct from the previous goods with which the packaging was originally associated.
Discrete support elements means: support elements that are "individually distinct, and which are separated from each other, though they may be connected at the top, the bottom, or both."
Discrete means public art that is not integrated with the site either in physical or conceptual manner. Usually, this type of work relates to the site in terms of scale, character and size and can be created off site, installed and moved from site to site.
Discrete means that every value ever taken by this variable is taken with positive probability, i.e., there are no values that are almost impossible but not impossible. All the random variables we’ll consider will be discrete.
Discrete means that members are marked out in ways that make it relatively easy for others to identify them. If you a member of discrete group, it is harder to “exit” (i.e. try to avoid a bad situation) so you are MORE likely to complain, i.e. political organize.
Discrete means separate or unconnected. “Discreet” means tactful or careful to avoid upsetting or embarrassing others.
