Pergunta #3755

I guess “singula” (isolado) is a root for SINGLE, am I rigth? Nowadays we can´t say this anymore but in the past…
If yes, this is serendipity – I found!
The site is kind of dead today. Could the rainning day be a reason?

Mrs. Anamarioffska:

You′re right: SINGLE comes from Latin SINGULUS.

Ethymological serendipity – that′s not for anyone.

I don′t think people use their computers outside home, so this rain must not be the cause.
