What's the dfference? Simple. Discreet. 'ee' - they'd exclaim if they knew, so keep it a secret.
Related to discretion. Judgement. And indiscretion. Lack of discretion. And indiscreet. Please don't be indiscreet.
Discrete means separate.
That's just how I remember it, not a proper definition. If that's not clear, tell me, and I'll look it up in a big dictionary. I have the Oxford Concise, Chambers, and dozens more. House full of books. And Websters for American spelling. (Which you can see on many sites by using the spell checker.)
I tell children, pupils, I'm home tutor, to buy an etymological dictionary, one which has the origins of words, giving the root which is often Latin or Greek.
If you see the root of the word, it's easier to understand it, and where the spellings come from.
