Morphology
individualistic = individual (semi-transparent) = individual + istic + ic
The word 'individualistic' is derived from 'individual' with the suffix '-istic', which is not fully transparent to all learners due to the abstract nature of the suffix.
Etymology
The word individualistic comes from individual, made from in- ('not') and divide ('separate'), so it originally meant 'not divided' or 'one person'. So an individualistic person values personal independence and often prefers to act differently from the group.
