/ˌɪn.dəˈvɪdʒ.u.əl/

nounadjectivein · di · vid · u · al

Think: an INDI-VIDual is one person—like a video (VID) of just one (U) person.

Yes, it's individual. Don’t drop the second “i”: it’s in-di-vid-u-al (not *indvidual*).

Definitions

  1. nounA single person, considered separately from a group.
  2. adjectiveSingle or separate; meant for one person.
  3. adjectiveHaving qualities that make someone or something different from others; unique.
