Nonpareil

Word to the Wise: Nonpareil

Something that’s “nonpareil” (non-puh-REL) - from the French - has no equal.

Example (as used by Simon Barnes in The [London] Times): “Steve Redgrave won his third gold medal at his third successive Olympic Games and we hymned the man as if he were the greatest athlete we had ever seen: a superman, a nonpareil, a demigod walking the earth.”
