prescindent (comparative more prescindent, superlative most prescindent)

  1. (rare) That prescinds; cutting off; abstracting.
    • 1879, Thomas Harper, The Metaphysics of the School:
      [] and therefore the confusion, or prescindent nature, of such concept is not the result of a separation by which one grade is cut off from another, but simply of a cognition which cuts off a confused from a distinct and determinate concept.
