A particular deference (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

respect

I believe this is a double definition.

'a particular' is the first definition.
(both can mean a detail or matter for consideration)

'deference' is the second definition.
(I know that deference can be written as respect)

(Other definitions for respect that I've seen before include "Reverence" , "Refuse to offend" , "Avoid offending" , "estimation" , "Pay attention to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
