    Kool word isn’t it? It’s origin comes with some pretty interesting facts.

    So it is a Greek word. It comes from the words monos + opsis. ‘Monos’ means solitary, alone, or unique and ‘opsis’ refers to like or appearance. The joint meaning is “An underlying and unremitting sense of not really belonging.”
