undiscerning

/ʌndɪsˈɜnɪŋ/ adj

Not discerning.

Word Origin Discern comes from Latin discernere 'to separate, distinguish' — literally 'to sift apart.' Discerning means able to distinguish well. Undiscerning adds un- 'not,' so it means not able to discern, lacking judgment. The root cernere 'to sift' also gives us concern (to sift together, relate to), certain (sifted, decided), secret (sifted apart, hidden), and even criminal (from crimen, a charge, perhaps from cernere). So undiscerning is about failing to separate the fine points.
