unconventionalities
Departures from norms
Unconventionalities are behaviors, qualities, or practices that deviate from established norms or expectations.
The word emphasizes plurality—not a single quirk but a collection of departures from convention: Her unconventionalities made her an outsider in the conservative firm.
The term often carries a neutral or even admiring tone, suggesting originality rather than mere rule-breaking.
