- 1壟斷的、獨占的（台灣新聞兩者都見；公平交易法較常用「獨占」）
If a company is monopolistic, it controls a whole kind of business, or it is trying to. Other firms cannot really compete: the big one sets the price, owns the supply, or shuts rivals out. Governments watch monopolistic behaviour because buyers can be hurt when there is no real choice. The word is fairly formal. You meet it in news about markets, courts, and economics, not in chat about lunch. People sometimes stretch it to a person who wants all the attention or all the say, but that is a side use; the home of the word is business. Though actually, being big is not the same as being monopolistic. The word is about control, not size alone.
組成From monopoly + -istic (“having the nature of”).
