English has a lot of different words with similar but slightly differing meanings.

Does "deffering" here means "distinctive"?

You had better check the sentence again. I can't see defer there.

I meant "differing"

It means different meanings.

As an example here's the Shorter OED's entry for "differ" : • verb 1 be unlike or dissimilar. 2 disagree
