Singularity is a feminine term that refers to something or someone that has the characteristic of being unique, distinguishing itself from others, extraordinary.
It can be described as a quality or adjective attributed to a living being that is unique, that differentiates itself of the rest of their peers, either by their attitudes or by other characteristics that do not have plurality.

The term originates from the Latin singulars, which means “individuality, unity”.
The idea of uniqueness is generally used to present physical characteristics and behaviors of human beings that differ from what is considered standard. However, uniqueness can also be used in a specific way in several areas of knowledge.
The word singularity can also be replaced by synonyms such as peculiarity, particularity, specialty, characteristic, eccentricity, etc.
human uniqueness
The uniqueness presents itself in human beings related to elements or characteristic features of the physical or natural form. But it can also be present in the cognitive and psychological characteristics of human development, which can stand out from the behavior of others. It's called human uniqueness.
See the meaning of behavior.
gravitational singularity
In physics, a region between space and time is called a gravitational singularity in which it is not possible to determine physical quantities related to gravitational fields.
Uniqueness of function
For Mathematics, the singularity is related to the area of functions. There are some mathematical functions that show an unusual behavior of assigning values to independent variables, which is called function singularity.
singularity theory
The uniqueness can also be related to the field of technology. Technological singularity or Singularity Theory consists of making hypothetical references to a moment in which the development of artificial intelligence would be able to cause very serious changes in the society. Some scholars on the subject even claim that this moment is near.
