Different
Pronunciation : Dif"fer*ent
Part of Speech : a.
Etymology : [L. differens, -entis, p. pr. of differre: cf. F. diff?rent.]
Definition : 1. Distinct; separate; not the same; other. "Five different churches." Addison.
2. Of various or contrary nature, form, or quality; partially or totally unlike; dissimilar; as, different kinds of food or drink; different states of health; different shapes; different degrees of excellence.
