A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “discredit” refers to the act of causing doubt or lack of belief in the credibility, reputation, or trustworthiness of a person, statement, evidence, or testimony. It involves undermining the reliability or validity of something, often with the intention of diminishing its value or impact in a legal proceeding.
Example: The defense attorney attempted to discredit the witness’s testimony by presenting evidence that contradicted her statements.
