Who invented the word unique?

English speakers borrowed “unique” in the early 1600s from the French, who got it from the Romans. In Latin, unicus means “one and only,” and that’s how “unique” was used in English for more than two centuries.

Can you say totally unique?

If you write that something is unique, you’re saying it is unlike anything else. It cannot be “somewhat” unique or “totally” unique. It can only be unique. (Note to writers: Stop overusing this word.)

Can you modify the word unique?

‘Unique’ is often cited as a word that should never be modified, as its original meanings were “being the only one” and “unequaled.” But ‘unique’ has another meaning, “unusual,” and it’s common to modify the word when it’s used this way.

Can you say most unique?

Is “most unique” grammatically correct? No. The word “unique” must be used without any modifiers, such as “very,” “most,” “somewhat,” etc. Something is simply “unique” or the word should not be used.

Why you shouldn’t use the word unique?

The word unique has the meaning “one of a kind.” It is a useful word and the widespread misuse of it tends to dissipate its usefulness. To precede the word with an intensifier like “very” or a comparative like “less” or “more,” defeats the purpose. That is not to say that one mustn’t ever use a word to modify unique.
