Some words

Hello all,

Wish you a good day,

I have a good dictionary, but I do not find a few words in it,

Could I ask you what do they mean ?

dismiss

dimitter

deferment ("a student draft deferment") VS deferral

Thank you by advance :-)

It cannot be a particularly good dictionary if you cannot find "dismiss" in it. com / dismiss = • verb 1 order or allow to leave; send away. 2 discharge from employment.
