discerner

/di.sɛʁ.ne/ noun

One who, or that which, discerns, distinguishes, or judges.

Word Origin From Latin 'dis-' (apart) and 'cernere' (to sift, separate) — so discern literally means 'to sift apart,' to distinguish one thing from another. A discerner is one who discerns. The same root gives us concern (to sift together, relate to), secret (sifted apart, hidden), and discretion (the ability to sift apart, good judgment).
