self-same
Exactly that one
Self-same means exactly the same, identical—used for emphasis when mere "same" feels insufficient.
It stresses that two things are not just similar but one and the same: The self-same argument was made a century ago.
The word has a literary or old-fashioned flavor, rarely appearing in casual speech.
