What does «sui géneris» mean in Spanish?
- Latin locution that denotes that a thing is of a peculiar genus or species, exceptional, of its own kind (unique, without equal and unclassifiable). An example of a use of this locution by a common speaker can be: "that man possesses a sui generis character", thus indicating that this person has a unique, peculiar character. The term was created by scholastic philosophy to indicate an idea, an entity or a reality that cannot be included in a broader concept, that is, that it is something unique in its kind.
