characteristic

A characteristic belongs to the nature or character of the person, thing, or class, and serves to identify an object; as, a copper-colored skin, high cheek-bones, and straight, black hair are characteristics of the American Indian. A sign is manifest to an observer; a mark or a characteristic may be more difficult to discover; an insensible person may show signs of life, while sometimes only close examination will disclose marks of violence. Pallor is ordinarily a mark of fear; but in some brave natures it is simply a characteristic of intense earnestness. Mark is sometimes used in a good, but often in a bad sense; we speak of the characteristic of a gentleman, the mark of a villain. Compare ATTRIBUTE; CHARACTER.

How to use characteristic in a sentence?

Ben Rhodes:

I have been in the room with Vladimir Putin many times when I was working for President Obama. And whataboutism is always a characteristic of these summit meetings, that whataboutism is meant to engender cynicism, that nothing really matters, it’s not worth even challenging this, that everybody’s just as corrupt as everybody else. And I think it’s incumbent on President Joe Biden to draw the clear distinctions between what America stands for in the world and what Vladimir Putin has been up to for the better part of over two decades now.
Connie Leyva:

It is unacceptable for any employer to try to silence a worker because he or she was a victim of any type of harassment or discrimination — whether due to race, sexual orientation, religion, age or any other characteristic, sB 331 will empower survivors to speak out — if they so wish — so they can hold perpetrators accountable and hopefully prevent abusers from continuing to torment and abuse other workers.
José Ortega y Gasset:

The characteristic of the hour is that the commonplace mind, knowing itself to be commonplace, has the assurance to proclaim the rights of the commonplace and to impose them wherever it will.
Mark Lawrence:

It’s a small gesture, no doubt, but a very characteristic one for a skillful politician like( President Lyndon Johnson) to lose no chance to cultivate loyalty and support.
Richard Steele:

Zeal for the public good is the characteristic of a man of honor and a gentleman, and must take the place of pleasures, profits and all other private gratification.
