uniqueness
State of being unmatched
Uniqueness is the quality of being one of a kind.
Something with uniqueness has no exact duplicate or equivalent: The uniqueness of each fingerprint makes them useful for identification.
The word often carries positive connotations of special value or distinction: Her uniqueness as an artist set her apart.
In technical contexts, uniqueness may simply mean singularity without implying superiority.
