Peculiarity is the state or quality of what is peculiar, that is, special, singular and particular.
The characteristics that are unique to a person, for example, can be considered their peculiarities.
Typically, peculiarities are easily identified, due to the fact that they are quite unique aspects, which are hardly found in other people or things.
In certain contexts, peculiarity can take on a pejorative sense, when it corresponds to synonyms of characteristics that are strange, weird, bizarre or unusual, for example.
Etymologically, this term originated from the Latin peculiar, which was used to describe something that was distinct or characteristic of someone.
In English, the word “peculiarity” can be translated to peculiarity.
