It rarely has the connotation of deviance that the other words can have. ■ Something described as peculiar is felt to be very strange, even disturbingly so (he was struck by the peculiar appearance of a group of birds | whoever thought up that joke has a peculiar sense of humour ).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
