AI Summary
Such, of such a kind, of this sort — a demonstrative word pointing back to something already described or implied, used to characterize a person, thing, or situation as being of the kind just mentioned 1234. It can stand before a noun ("such a man," "such things") or function as a substantive, "such a one" or "such persons," often with the article 13. It denotes character or individuality — marking out what sort of thing something is rather than naming it directly 2. It often correlates with other words such as "as," "of what kind," or "like" ("such as," "just as") 13.
