Description	Necessary and sufficient condition for discreteness and boundedness below of the spectrum of the full-term singular differential operator l(y)=1/w(t) \sum_k=0ⁿ [ p_k(t) y^(k) ]^(k) on [a,\infty), is established. This condition is based on a recently proved generalized reciprocity principle for l and on the relationship between spectral properties of l and oscillation of a certain associated (2n-2)-order differential equation. An application to ''Euler-type'' fourth order operator is given.
