Word of the Day 18/02/16: sonderweg
from German - ‘unique path’; sonderweg is typically a historiographical term, coined to describe the unique development of Germany as opposed to other European states
You’re not actually getting a proper usage example this time; I suppose you could say this post is exhibiting its own sonderweg...
