Word origin
The word 'peculiar' originates from the Latin word 'peculiaris', meaning 'of private property'. Over time, it evolved to refer to something distinct or belonging exclusively to a particular entity. In English, 'peculiar' took on the meaning of being different or strange from the usual, adding a touch of eccentricity to its connotation.
