1. singular

   Odd is unmated, as an odd shoe, and so uneven, as an odd number. Singular is alone of its kind; as, the singular number. What is singular is odd, but what is odd may not be singular; as, a drawerful of odd gloves. A strange thing is something hitherto unknown in fact or in cause. A singular coincidence is one the happening of which is unusual; a strange coincidence is one the cause of which is hard to explain. That which is peculiar belongs especially to a person as his own; as, Israel was called Jehovah's "peculiar people," i. e., especially chosen and cherished by him; in its ordinary use there is the implication that the thing peculiar to one is not common to the majority nor quite approved by them, though it may be shared by many; as, the Shakers are peculiar. Eccentric is off or aside from the center, and so off or aside from the ordinary and what is considered the normal course; as, genius is commonly eccentric. Eccentric is a higher and more respectful word than odd or queer. Erratic signifies wandering, a stronger and more censorious term than eccentric. Queer is transverse or oblique, aside from the common in a way that is comical or perhaps slightly ridiculous. Quaint denotes that which is pleasingly odd and fanciful, often with something of the antique; as, the quaint architecture of medieval towns. That which is funny is calculated to provoke laughter; that which is droll is more quietly amusing. That which is grotesque in the material sense is irregular or misshapen in form or outline or ill-proportioned so as to be somewhat ridiculous; the French bizarre is practically equivalent to grotesque.

How to use Singular in a sentence?

1. Christen Kuikoua:

   As mankind descends into the depths of evil, echoing the times of Joshua, prayer emerges as the singular force capable of summoning God's intervention for our deliverance from the clutches of the malevolent. In the face of our own contemporary challenges, let our collective prayers rise as a beacon of hope, seeking divine mercy and guidance to navigate the shadows that threaten to engulf us.

2. John Thune:

   I would expect there would be pretty good support for that among, you know, pro-life House Republicans and maybe some pro-life Democrats, i also think that because the Democrats have tried to convert this into a one-sided argument that represents their singular view of the world, which is all House Republicans are for an outright ban.

3. Sarah Jessica Parker:

   It’s sad, but I always think that what ties us together is this singular experience, it was a professional experience, but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives, so I ’m hoping that that eclipses anything that’s been recently spoken. … That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with, it is such a privilege.

4. Erik Pevernagie:

   Everyone feels like an alien to someone else or even sometimes to oneself. Whether native, foreigner or exile, whether assimilated or singular, whether straight or gay, important is to find an access to the open public space, the 'space of appearance' and the gate to a citizenship of the world. (Township)

5. James Thurber:

   I loathe the expression "What makes him tick." It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression. A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm.
