Word origin

独家 (dújiā, "exclusive") combines 独 (dú, "alone") + 家 (jiā, "home or organization"), presenting information as belonging to one outlet rather than being shared among outlets.

Usage tips

  • In news language, this word can sound promotional, so it signals a claim about special access or early release rather than proof that every detail is true.
