The lonely one, so rare that grammar itself bends to acknowledge its isolation.
means Describing exactly one of something, or being so remarkable and unusual as to stand out from everything else.
from From Latin singularis, 'single, individual, one by one,' built on singulus, 'one at a time.' That singulus is itself a diminutive of the root behind simplex and similar 'single/simple' words, all pointing back to the Latin idea of oneness. It arrived in English through Old French singuler in the medieval period, carrying both the grammarian's strict sense — one, not many — and the everyday sense of being one of a kind.
