Discreet & Discrete

A very useful one this week, I think. Discreet and discrete.
-eet – secretive, private, careful.
-ete – separate, distinct, apart.
"We kissed discreetly in the dark, then departed discretely."

    1. It means "separate" or "distinct." So the two dudes in the picture are going their separate ways, discrete from one another rather than together.

    1. No, if there was no credit, then I definitely did not approve it. Can you give me a little more info about where you saw it?
