Usage Note

Discrezionalmente is a formal, administrative adverb meaning 'at the discretion of' or 'on a discretionary basis' — common in legal, bureaucratic, and policy texts. It derives from discrezionale (discretionary). In everyday conversation Italians would more naturally say a propria discrezione or come si ritiene opportuno; the adverb belongs firmly to official registers.
