from discernment of

Morphological NotesPreposition מִן ("from") + masculine singular noun in construct state.
Rendering RationaleThe noun טַעַם denotes perception or discernment derived from the root meaning "to taste, to perceive, to judge." In construct singular with the prefixed preposition מִן ("from"), it yields "from discernment of," preserving both the root sense and the construct relationship.
