the.com/difference
the gap between two things that somehow contains everything that matters.
means The way in which two or more things are not the same — the quality, amount, or fact of being unlike.
from From Latin differentia, 'a carrying apart,' built from differre — dis- ('apart') plus ferre ('to carry'). So at its root a difference is literally what gets carried off in opposite directions, two things borne away from each other. It reached English through Old French in the medieval period, keeping that sense of separation while quietly gathering its mathematical, social, and emotional weight along the way.
