唯独

• 병음: wéi dú
• 한자 분석: 唯 = only, solely (口 mouth + 隹 short-tailed bird); 独 = 犭(dog radical) + 蜀 (phonetic) — alone, solitary

뜻

오직 …만; 유독 …만(예외로)

唯独 is more emphatic than 只 or 唯有. It always singles out one exception from a group where the opposite is true of all others: 大家都来了，唯独他没来 (everyone came; he alone did not). The contrast can be positive (唯独你理解我 = you alone understand me) or negative. Slightly formal but used across registers. Never describes a general condition — there must be an implicit or explicit contrast.
