Idiosyncratic

By ETR

Something that’s “idiosyncratic” (ih-dee-oh-sin-KRAT-ik) – from the Greek for “one’s own mixture” – is eccentric, peculiar to a particular individual.

Example (as used by Will Blythe in The New York Times Book Review): “[James Agee] left behind an idiosyncratic nonfiction classic called Let Us Now Praise Famous Men along with one of those myths for hard-living and intemperate genius… .”

[Ed. Note: Become a more persuasive writer and speaker ... build your self-confidence and intellect ... increase your attractiveness to others ... just by spending 10 VERY enjoyable minutes a day with ETR's new Words to the Wise CD Library.]
