exceptional
Meaning
"Exceptional" refers to a quality or state that significantly deviates from the norm, often indicating superiority or outstanding characteristics that are not commonly found, thereby warranting special attention or consideration in a given context.
💡 While "exceptional" often conveys a positive connotation, it can also imply a deviation that may not be favorable, depending on the context; caution is advised to avoid ambiguity.
