The quality or condition of being unlike or dissimilar.2. a. An instance of disparity or unlikeness: There is a big difference in sound between a clarinet and an oboe.b.

Difference is the most general: differences in color and size; a difference of degree but not of kind. Dissimilarity and unlikeness often suggest a wide or fundamental difference: the dissimilarity between human and computer language; attracted to each other by their very unlikeness. However, dissimilarity is also used to emphasize the points of difference between things that are otherwise alike or comparable: an analysis of the dissimilarities between the two sets of data. Divergence can denote a difference resulting from a branching or separation; alternatively, it can indicate a range of difference within a category: the growing divergence between British and American English; a large group with a divergence of opinions on the subject. Variation occurs between things of the same class or species; often it refers to a modification of something original, prescribed, or typical: variations in temperature; a variation of a familiar technique. Distinction often means a difference in detail determinable only by close inspection: the distinction between "good" and "excellent." A discrepancy is a difference between things that should correspond or match: a discrepancy between his words and his actions.American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edition.

'distinction'If someone points out that two things are different, don't say that they 'make a difference' between the things. You say that they make a distinction or draw a distinction between them.It is important to make a distinction between claimants who are over retirement age and those who are not.He draws a distinction between art and culture.Collins COBUILD English Usage © HarperCollins Publishers 1992, 2004, 2011, 2012differencePast participle: differencedGerund: differencingImperativePresentPreteritePresent ContinuousPresent PerfectPast ContinuousPast PerfectFutureFuture PerfectFuture ContinuousPresent Perfect ContinuousFuture Perfect ContinuousPast Perfect ContinuousConditionalPast ConditionalImperativedifferencedifferencePresentI differenceyou differencehe/she/it differenceswe differenceyou differencethey differencePreteriteI differencedyou differencedhe/she/it differencedwe differencedyou differencedthey differencedPresent ContinuousI am differencingyou are differencinghe/she/it is differencingwe are differencingyou are differencingthey are differencingPresent PerfectI have differencedyou have differencedhe/she/it has differencedwe have differencedyou have differencedthey have differencedPast ContinuousI was differencingyou were differencinghe/she/it was differencingwe were differencingyou were differencingthey were differencingPast PerfectI had differencedyou had differencedhe/she/it had differencedwe had differencedyou had differencedthey had differencedFutureI will differenceyou will differencehe/she/it will differencewe will differenceyou will differencethey will differenceFuture PerfectI will have differencedyou will have differencedhe/she/it will have differencedwe will have differencedyou will have differencedthey will have differencedFuture ContinuousI will be differencingyou will be differencinghe/she/it will be differencingwe will be differencingyou will be differencingthey will be differencingPresent Perfect ContinuousI have been differencingyou have been differencinghe/she/it has been differencingwe have been differencingyou have been differencingthey have been differencingFuture Perfect ContinuousI will have been differencingyou will have been differencinghe/she/it will have been differencingwe will have been differencingyou will have been differencingthey will have been differencingPast Perfect ContinuousI had been differencingyou had been differencinghe/she/it had been differencingwe had been differencingyou had been differencingthey had been differencingConditionalI would differenceyou would differencehe/she/it would differencewe would differenceyou would differencethey would differencePast ConditionalI would have differencedyou would have differencedhe/she/it would have differencedwe would have differencedyou would have differencedthey would have differencedCollins English Verb Tables © HarperCollins Publishers 2011

References in classic literature

Bakewell's flock, and yet the difference between the sheep possessed by these two gentlemen is so great that they have the appearance of being quite different varieties.'The explanation, I think, is simple: from long-continued study they are strongly impressed with the differences between the several races; and though they well know that each race varies slightly, for they win their prizes by selecting such slight differences, yet they ignore all general arguments, and refuse to sum up in their minds slight differences accumulated during many successive generations. View in contextSuch are Dithyrambic and Nomic poetry, and also Tragedy and Comedy; but between them the difference is, that in the first two cases these means are all employed in combination, in the latter, now one means is employed, now another.Such, then, are the differences of the arts with respect to the medium of imitation. View in contextThe state of equilibrium before the stimulus may be called the "primary indifference-state"; that after the cessation of the stimulus, the "secondary indifference-state." We define the "engraphic effect" of a stimulus as the effect in making a difference between the primary and secondary indifference-states, and this difference itself we define as the "engram" due to the stimulus.If, then, there is to be some standing difference between the person who can remember a certain fact and the person who cannot, that standing difference must be, not in anything mental, but in the brain. View in contextAt first sight the difference does not seem great in either line of dealing with the difficult problem of limitations.And therein I think I can lay my finger upon the difference between the seamen of yesterday, who are still with us, and the seamen of to-morrow, already entered upon the possession of their inheritance. View in contextIt was not in his calmness that she read his comparative difference. He was not calm; his spirits were evidently fluttered; there was restlessness about him. View in contextBut there was a difference. There were gods and gods, and Jerry was not long in learning that in the hierarchy of the heaven of these white-gods on the Ariel, the sailorizing, ship-working ones were far beneath the captain and his two white-and-gold-clad officers. View in contextThe difference in affection, of parents towards their several children, is many times unequal; and sometimes unworthy; especially in the mothers; as Solomon saith, A wise son rejoiceth the father, but an ungracious son shames the mother. View in contextSome persons will probably say, that the employments of the state ought to be given according to every particular excellence of each citizen, if there is no other difference between them and the rest of the community, but they are in every respect else alike: for justice attributes different things to persons differing from each other in their character, according to their respective merits.
