Idiosyncrasy
Original Source:
"Nothing captures the spirit of an age better than a collections of its best cartoons. They seem to sum up in shorthand the idiosyncrasies of the time."

and Winkler, Anthony C.. Readings for Writers. Cambridge, MA: Heinle
& Heinle Publishing Company, 2004. Print.
Definition*:

Second Source:
"The key is working with great directors. A film is so many different people and all their talents, but particularly the directors, because of the idiosyncrasies of that person."

Commentary:
In the first source, the word idiosyncrasy describes the characteristics of a set time that its best cartoons capture. Jones, in the second source, states that the habits and unique characteristics of directors play a large part in making a movie different from others.
