Definition
In a way that shows respect and willingness to accept another's opinion or authority.
Etymology
From deferential (Latin deferre 'to yield' + -ential suffix) + -ly (adverbial suffix). The -ential suffix adds an extra layer of formality compared to simple 'deferent.'
Kelly Says
You can smile deferentially while disagreeing completely—it's all about the presentation. This reveals that deference is often a performance, a way of showing respect for the relationship even when you disagree on facts.
