Definition of distinguish

Definition: To distinguish means to note a significant difference or dissimilarity (usually between cases); to make a distinction.

For example, in a court case, a lawyer may try to distinguish their client's case from a previous case by pointing out key differences in the facts or circumstances. This is done in order to argue that the previous case should not be used as a precedent for the current case.

Another example could be distinguishing between two similar products in order to make a decision on which one to purchase. By noting the differences between the products, a person can make an informed choice based on their individual needs and preferences.

In both examples, the act of distinguishing involves identifying and highlighting important differences in order to make a decision or argument.

The law is reason, free from passion.
