Etymology
The word 'unique' comes from the Latin word 'unicus', meaning 'only one' or 'single'. It was introduced into the English language in the late 19th century. As the concept of uniqueness began to evolve in common vernacular, informal adaptations emerged. This included the creation of words like 'uniquer', which intended to highlight a comparative form; however, this is largely viewed as an incorrect formation in standard English since 'unique' is an absolute term that does not traditionally accept comparatives. The emergence of 'uniquer' is an example of the organic evolution of language where speakers adapt established words to better fit their communicative needs, despite traditional grammatical rules.
