MONOGRAPHOUS Meaning and
Definition
-
Monographous is an adjective that describes something as being singular or exclusive in nature. It refers to a phenomenon, a relationship, or a condition that exists independently without any other variations or counterparts. The term is derived from the combination of the prefix "mono," meaning "single" or "sole," and the word "graph" which pertains to a written or recorded form of something. Hence, monographous can be literally understood as "having a singular written record" or "solely characterized by a single written account."
In the context of academic literature, a monographous work refers to a single-authored book or a scholarly publication that focuses on a particular subject or aspect within a given field. It is a comprehensive study that offers a detailed analysis or exposition of a specific topic, presenting a thorough examination of its various aspects, as opposed to a compilation of multiple authors' works or a broad survey of several subjects.
Outside of academic research, the term monographous can also be used to describe unique or unparalleled circumstances, traits, or conditions that are exceptional or solitary in nature. For instance, a monographous species is one that exists as a lone representative within its taxonomic classification, meaning it does not have any closely related species. Similarly, monographous relationships refer to connections or bonds that exist exclusively between two individuals without any involvement of others.
