idiosyncrasy

/ˌɪd.i.əʊˈsɪŋ.kɹə.si/noun

A habit or way of thinking that is particular to one person.

Example sentence

  • Wearing gloves indoors was one of his little idiosyncrasies.

Spelled with 'crasy' at the end, not 'cracy' as in 'democracy'. A neutral word: the quirks it names are odd, not necessarily bad.
