Decimate

..,. which has been discussed before.

Also, "discriminate" which used to mean simply "perceive subtle differences that are actually present" (in this denotation it was most often used regarding one's ability to make qualitative judgements about food and art). Now the word discriminate more often connotes bigoty -- which ironically is the inability to perceive the reality of an individual because you' just paint everyone with a prejudice-sodden brush."

I don't think the old version of discriminate is completely gone. You still have discriminatory palette, and I've seen people discriminate between options, etc. But you're right that it's not very common.

*nods* I think of it when I think of decimate because, like decimate, discriminate's most common usage is now the inverse of the word's original meaning.
