Definition

Let $x \in S$ be an element of a set of objects $S$.

Then:

$x$ is distinguished from the other elements of $S$

if and only if

$x$ is endowed with a property that the other elements of $S$ are specifically deemed not to possess.


Such an element is identified as being distinct from the others.
