distinction
When referring to a difference between two things, 'distinction' is often used with the preposition 'between'. When describing someone's excellence or achievement, it is common to use the phrase 'with distinction', which acts as an adverbial phrase meaning 'excellently' or 'with high honors'. In academic contexts, a 'distinction' is a specific grade level, often higher than a 'merit' or 'pass'.
