word of the day – sui generis

sui generis soo-eye-JEN-ur-us; soo-ee-, adjective:
Being the only example of its kind; constituting a class of its own; unique.

Sui generis is from Latin, literally meaning “of its own kind”: sui, “of its own” + generis, genitive form of genus, “kind.”

Dedicated to my darling, who is most certainly a sui generis woman… and I love her for it.
