Etymology

From Middle English differren, from Old French differer, from Latin differō (“carry apart, put off, defer; differ”), from dis- (“apart”) + ferō (“carry, bear”). Compare Ancient Greek διαφέρω (diaphérō). Doublet of defer and dilate, see also infer, confer and collate, refer and relate, as well as prefer and prelate among others.

Webster’s 1913

  1. verb To be or stand apart; to disagree; to be unlike; to be distinguished; --with from.
  2. verb To be of unlike or opposite opinion; to disagree in sentiment; --often with from or with.
  3. verb To cause to be different or unlike; to set at variance. [R.]

Etymology [L. differre; dif- = dis- + ferre to bear, carry: cf. F. différer. See 1st Bear, and cf. Defer, Delay.]
