discount

Less than full price

A discount is a reduction from the usual price: The store offers a 20% discount on clearance items.

To discount something is to reduce its price, or more broadly, to diminish its importance or credibility: Don't discount her opinion just because she's young.

A discount rate is a reduced price or, in finance, the interest rate central banks charge for loans.

Something done at a discount comes cheaper than expected, sometimes implying lower quality.
