idiosyncracy

idiosyncracy: idiosyncracy: [17] Greek idios meant ‘of a particular person, personal, private, own’. Among the words it has contributed to English are idiom [16] (etymologically ‘one’s own particular way of speaking’), idiot, and idiosyncracy. This was a compound formed in Greek with sugkrasis, itself a compound noun made up of sun ‘together’ and krasis ‘mixture’ (a relative of English crater). Sugkrasis originally meant literally ‘mixture’, but it was later used metaphorically for ‘mixture of personal characteristics, temperament’, and so idiosugkrasis was ‘one’s own particular mix of traits’.
