'one that is different' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'resent having to accept' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'accept' could be 'take' (to accept is to take possession of) and 'take' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'exception' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'the' acts as a link.
