Idiosyncratic

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… .”
