What does nonpareil mean?

"Nonpareil" means unequalled or unmatched. It describes something that is superior to all others and has no equal.

It can be used to describe:

* A person: "She was a nonpareil pianist, her skills unmatched."

* A thing: "The view from the mountaintop was a nonpareil experience."

* An achievement: "His performance was a nonpareil display of athleticism."

It often implies perfection or excellence.

The word comes from the French phrase "non pareil," meaning "not equal."
