Selecting from various sources, styles, or ideas rather than following a single approach. Characterized by diversity and variety drawn from multiple origins.
From Greek 'eklektikos,' meaning 'selective,' from 'eklegein' (to pick out, choose). Originally used to describe ancient philosophers who selected the best ideas from different schools of thought rather than adhering to one system.
Think 'electric' but replace the 'r' with 'c' - an eclectic person has an electric variety of interests! They don't stick to one flavor; they sample from the whole buffet of life, picking the best from everywhere.
