Extraordinary: very unusual or remarkable(adjective)
This is the meaning of the word extraordianary according to the dictionary. I first saw this word while reading “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston in the first page where it said “An extraordinary place by any reckoning, Hurtson’s hometown takes on an almost mythical quality in her fiction and autobiographical writing”. The author felt amazed and in wonder about seeing the hometown that she read about in person. She was highly impressed with how mystical and wonderous the place was. When I thought of it like that, I understood what the word extraordinary meant.
