Definitions for Diffraction
[1] the phenomenon exhibited by wave fronts that, passing the edge of an opaque body, are modulated, thereby causing a redistribution of energy within the front: it is detectable in light waves by the presence of a pattern of closely spaced dark and light bands (diffraction pattern) at the edge of a shadow.
[2] the bending of waves, especially sound and light waves, around obstacles in their path.
[3] physics a deviation in the direction of a wave at the edge of an obstacle in its path
[4] any phenomenon caused by diffraction and interference of light, such as the formation of light and dark fringes by the passage of light through a small aperture
[5] deflection of sound waves caused by an obstacle or by nonhomogeneity of a medium

Origin of Diffraction
1665–75; < New Latin diffrāctiōn- (stem of diffrāctiō ) a breaking up, equivalent to Latin diffrāct(us ) broken up (past participle of diffringere ) + -iōn- -ion. See dif-, fraction
