Arbitrariness in linguistics refers to the lack of inherent connection between the signifier (such as a word or symbol) and the signified (the concept or object it represents). Discreteness, however, relates to the property of language that allows units (like phonemes or letters) to be combined in different ways to create distinct meanings, which is a separate concept from the arbitrary nature of linguistic signs.
