individuated

Set apart uniquely

Individuated describes something that has been made distinct or recognized as a separate, individual entity.

In psychology, particularly Jungian theory, it refers to the process of becoming a fully realized self, integrating conscious and unconscious elements into a unified identity: Through years of therapy, she became more individuated from her family's expectations.

More broadly, it means distinguished from a mass or group: The artist's figures are carefully individuated, each with distinct features and postures.
