- Peculiarity and Singularity can be similar when they mean “unusual or distinctive behavior.”

- They are different because singularity means “singular” or “one of” and “separate from anything else.” and peculiarity does not.

- Something that is a singularity, is probably peculiar.
(Something that is the only one or separate, might be considered strange.)

But a peculiarity is not necessarily a singularity.
(Something or someone that is odd, is not always the only one.)
