Being the sole or exclusive one in a class, set apart by uniqueness or lack of accompaniment; in specific contexts, describing someone or something as alone, without others present, or being the only one of its kind.

the only one

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
alone
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Adjusted from 'the only one' to 'alone' because contextually it refers to being by himself, which is a standard use of μόνος and better English; 'the only one' would mislead in this context. |
