  Deference \Def"er*ence\, n. [F. d['e]f['e]rence. See 3d
     Defer.]
     A yielding of judgment or preference from respect to the
     wishes or opinion of another; submission in opinion; regard;
     respect; complaisance.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           Deference to the authority of thoughtful and sagacious
           men.                                     --Whewell.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           Deference is the most complicate, the most indirect,
           and the most elegant of all compliments. --Shenstone.
  
     Syn: Deference, Reverence, Respect.
  
     Usage: Deference marks an inclination to yield one's opinion,
            and to acquiesce in the sentiments of another in
            preference to one's own. Respect marks the estimation
            that we have for another, which makes us look to him
            as worthy of high confidence for the qualities of his
            mind and heart. Reverence denotes a mingling of fear
            with a high degree of respect and esteem. Age, rank,
            dignity, and personal merit call for deference;
            respect should be paid to the wise and good; reverence
            is due to God, to the authors of our being, and to the
            sanctity of the laws.
