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 ]
