Etymology
Diferit comes from the Latin verb differre, meaning to carry apart or to differ. That verb combines the prefix dis- (apart) with ferre (to carry). Romanian formed the adjective from the past participle of the related verb a diferi, so it originally meant something like carried in different directions.
