idiosyncratic
의미: Peculiar or individual to a specific person; distinctive and unconventional in a way that sets someone or something apart from the norm.
Idiosyncratic describes qualities that are unique to an individual rather than shared by a group. It is usually neutral to positive in tone, often carrying a note of affection or admiration for the distinctive — an idiosyncratic style is one that defies easy categorisation. The word is a favourite of arts reviewers, literary critics, and profile writers, and collocates with 'style,' 'approach,' 'taste,' 'vision,' and 'interpretation.' In medicine, 'idiosyncratic reaction' refers to an unusual individual response to a drug.
