Hi Benny, please tell me what does 却因定 means in the sentence below. Is 却因定 one word? If not, then how are they separated and linked with the sentence?

8月26日,人保哈尔滨分公司一行7人来到正大鞋城,然而双方却因定损数额发生争执。保险公司认为,经过8月26日现场查损确认,8月21日出险后的受损鞋数量是408双,最后确定的理赔金额是3.9万元,加上第一次出险的8.4万元,保险公司共应赔付正大鞋城12.3万元。

Thanks!

First, I am curious about what kind of newspaper or report you are reading.

Let me answer your questions now. 却 is a disjunctive aderb. 因 means because. 定 here means to fix. The sentence means both parties are arguing with each other because of fixing demeages.

Is 定 short of 一定的 and 因 short of 因为? As in 一定的因为. Does 却 here means ‘however’ or ‘but’. Because it says 然而 at the start as well which also means however. How does exactly 却 exactly shows the contrast between any two sentences?
