Peculiar \Pe*cul"iar\, a. [L. peculiaris, fr. peculium private
property, akin to pecunia money: cf. OF. peculier. See
{Pecuniary}.]
1. One's own; belonging solely or especially to an
individual; not possessed by others; of private, personal,
or characteristic possession and use; not owned in common
or in participation.

ii. 14.

[1913 Webster]

3. Unusual; singular; rare; strange; as, the sky had a

Syn: {Peculiar}, {Special}, {Especial}.

Usage: Peculiar is from the Roman peculium, which was a thing
emphatically and distinctively one's own, and hence
was dear. The former sense always belongs to peculiar
(as, a peculiar style, peculiar manners, etc.), and
usually so much of the latter as to involve feelings
of interest; as, peculiar care, watchfulness,
satisfaction, etc. Nothing of this kind belongs to
special and especial. They mark simply the relation of
species to genus, and denote that there is something
in this case more than ordinary; as, a special act of
Congress; especial pains, etc.
[1913 Webster]

Beauty, which, either walking or asleep,
Shot forth peculiar graces. --Milton.
[1913 Webster]

For naught so vile that on the earth doth live,
But to the earth some special good doth give.

Peculiar
as used in the phrase "peculiar people" in 1 Pet. 2:9, is
derived from the Lat. peculium, and denotes, as rendered in the
Revised Version ("a people for God's own possession"), a special
possession or property. The church is the "property" of God, his
"purchased possession" (Eph. 1:14; R.V., "God's own
possession").

PECULIAR, eccl. law. In England, a particular parish or church, which has,
within itself, independent of the ordinary jurisdiction, power to grant
probate of wills, and the like. 1 Eng. Eccl. R. 72, note; Shelf. on Mar. &
Div. 538. Vide Court of peculiars.
