EnglishSynonyms
- ALovable
- BRowdy
- CIrrelevant
- DUnequalled
Explanation
Peerless means having no equal or rival, which is exactly what unequalled denotes. Both describe manners so refined that none compare. Lovable, rowdy and irrelevant describe unrelated qualities of affection, noisiness and pertinence. The peerless manners stood out because they were unmatched, not because they were merely pleasant. The without-equal sense confirms unequalled as the synonym.
