indiscrētus (feminine indiscrēta, neuter indiscrētum, adverb indiscrētē or indiscrētim); first/second-declension adjective (chiefly post-Augustan)

1. (literal) unseparated, undivided, closely connected
   • 116 BCE – 27 BCE, Marcus Terentius Varro, Rerum rusticarum 3.1.7:

     Agrī cultūram prīmō propter paupertātem maximē indiscrētam habēbant, quod ā pāstōribus quī erant ortī in eōdem agrō et serēbant et pāscēbant; quæ posteā crēvērunt pecūlia dīvīsērunt, ac factum ut dīcerentur aliī agricolæ, aliī pāstōrēs.

     At first, they held the cultivation of the land in a very disorganized manner because of their poverty, since those who had sprung from the same land both sowed and grazed there; later, as their wealth grew, they divided it, and so it happened that some were called farmers and others shepherds.

2. (figurative) indistinguishable, not capable of being told apart
   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Vergilius, Aeneis 10.391–392:

     Vōs etiam, geminī, Rutulīs cecidistis in arvīs, ¶ Daucia, Lārīdē Thymberque, simillima prōlēs, ¶ indiscrēta suīs grātusque parentibus error; ¶ at nunc dūra dedit vōbīs discrīmina Pallās.

     • 1951 translation by Rolfe Humphries

       And then he saw twin brothers, sons of Daucus, ¶ Named Thymber and Larides, whom their kinsmen ¶ Could never tell apart, and their own parents ¶ Made fond mistakes about them.
