| Explanation | Unique usually describes something that is the only one of its kind: 'Lennon will be remembered for his songs and for his unique sense of humour.' In informal styles unique is sometimes used with more/most/rather etc. to mean 'unusual': 'This rather unique little restaurant is very popular with the locals.'
