An archaic or variant spelling of 'difform,' meaning irregularly or abnormally shaped.
French spelling variant of the Latin 'difformis.' This spelling was common in older English texts, particularly those influenced by French orthography during the medieval and early modern periods.
This shows how English spelling was wild and flexible before the 1700s—the same word could be spelled multiple ways and nobody thought it was weird! Seeing 'difforme' vs 'difform' in old books shows language evolution in action.
