Explanation

Odd is used to describe something that feels unusual, strange, or different from what is normal. When something does not fit your expectations, you may call it odd. It can describe people’s behaviour, situations, numbers, or feelings. For example, an odd sound may make you curious because it is unfamiliar. In mathematics, odd refers to numbers that cannot be divided evenly by two. The word can also describe something happening at an unexpected time or in an uncommon way, like he arrived at an odd hour, long after everyone had gone to sleep.
