Iḥtirās adds a safeguard to block an unintended interpretation suggested by previous words. The source definition of iʿtirāḍ specifically says siwā dafʿ al-īhām: a rhetorical purpose other than merely the removal of that misleading possibility.
If an inserted clause also prevents misunderstanding, the analyst must ask which function is primary and which definition is being used. Neither punctuation, the presence of wāw, nor increased length by itself establishes the distinction.
