Atypical

The atypical can be mentioned as unusual.

Latin is where we can establish that the etymological origin of the term unusual is found. Specifically, it derives from unusualis , which is the result of the sum of the following lexical components of said language:

-The prefix in- , which means "not" or "without."

-The term usus , which is used to indicate "the continued use of something."

-The suffix -al , which is equivalent to "relative to."

Concept of unusual

The adjective unusual is used to describe what is unusual (usual, normal). The unusual, therefore, is infrequent or atypical .

For example: "Experts are concerned about the unusual behavior of the hurricane" , "It was an unusual match: after 10 minutes we were already up two to zero and we had one more player" , "These temperatures are unusual in this city" .

Among the words that can serve as synonyms for the unusual term at hand, we can highlight some such as unaccustomed , unusual , unusual , rare , unusual or unusual , for example. On the contrary, among its antonyms we can highlight words such as usual, habitual or accustomed.

Peculiar

The unusual is strange, rare or peculiar.

Some examples

Take the case of a region characterized by dry climate. It is a desert area, where rain is recorded only four or five days a year. If there is a streak of four consecutive days with rainfall, it can be said that we are facing an unusual situation : it is not common for something like this to happen.

Let us now think of a writer who is preparing to present his new book. Typically, authors invite the press and readers to attend a launch event held at a location such as a library , cultural center, or museum. If a novelist prefers to organize the presentation in a pizzeria, many will claim that he chose an unusual place for this type of event.

The unusual, something unaccustomed

Anything unusual , strange or unusual can be classified as unusual. Nowadays it is unusual for a young man to decide to wear a bow and a top to go dancing, to mention one case, or for a person who lives in a city to choose not to have a cell phone (mobile phone), email or Facebook account.

In the same way, there are events throughout history that have been described as unusual and that were captured in photographs. Among them we can highlight, for example, that in Iran in the mid-19th century there was execution, but a very unique execution: by cannon. This means that the convicted person was tied to the mouth of that weapon so that he would be ejected when it was activated.

Sometimes unusual depends on culture . While in the Peruvian Amazon it is common for inhabitants to eat a large worm known as suri, this practice is totally unusual in Buenos Aires ( Argentina ).

Other uses of the term

In addition to all the above, we cannot ignore that Inusual Kicks is a store in Granada that specializes in the sale of sneakers and all types of items related to the world of basketball.

Not to mention that Inusual is a coaching , training and insourcing company that was launched in 1997 in Barcelona .
