Etymology

The word "peculiarly" derives from the Latin peculiaris, meaning "of one's own property," from peculium (private property, originally livestock wealth). Over time, "peculiar" evolved to mean "distinctive" or "unusual," as something belonging exclusively to an individual often seemed odd to others. The suffix "-ly" transforms the adjective into an adverb, emphasizing the manner of being distinctive or strange.
