SINGLE Meaning and Definition

  1. Single is an adjective that describes an object, person, or concept characterized by individuality or solitariness. It denotes something or someone that is separate, unique, distinct, or solitary, lacking any form of companionship, partnership, or connection with others.

    In the context of personal relationships, single refers to someone who is not currently in a romantic or marital partnership. Single individuals are unattached and usually seeking to establish a relationship or remain uncommitted, with the freedom to pursue their own interests and activities without the responsibilities of being in a romantic relationship or marriage.

    In the realm of music, a single is a song or recording released separately, rather than part of an album or collection. It typically includes one or more tracks and is often intended to promote or highlight a particular artist or album.

    In sports, a single can refer to a score or play where one point is awarded, such as in tennis, badminton, or bowling. It can also describe a situation where a batter reaches first base safely in baseball or softball without the aid of teammate hitting or advancing.

    Single can also be a noun, referring to an individual item or unit, separate from others of its kind, as in a single ticket, single bed, or single copy of a book.

    Overall, single encompasses various notions of individuality, separation, and distinctiveness across a broad range of contexts.

  2. • Consisting of one only; not double; separate; individual; uncompounded; alone; unmarried; done with one only; incorrupt.
    • To choose one from others; to select, followed by out.
