+ '''singillātim''' (adverb; not comparable)^(OLD 2012)

+ It is also spelled ''singulātim''; an inscription has ''sin(g)ilatim''.^(OLD 2012)

+ Many manuscripts have ''sigillātim'', and there is a contracted ''singultim''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|singulī|-im|t1=one each, single]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan traces [[m|la|singulī]] to [[itc-pro|*sem-g-(lo-)]] and [[ine-pro|*s(e)m-gʰ-|t=single]]: following Meiser, he sees a distributive particle and the suffix ⟨-lo-⟩, and dismisses an older derivation from the root meaning to be born.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan and Köbler date it from Plautus.^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) Lucilius writes that each of us is moved in this way one by one.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is one by one, singly, separately.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Cicero speaks of discussing each kind singly rather than in general terms, and Lewis & Short quote it also from Terence, Lucretius, Caesar, Sallust and Suetonius.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Köbler lists it in medieval sources such as the Frisian and Salic law codes.^(Köbler 2010) Church Latin glosses it separately, singly, one by one, individually.^(Stelten 1995)
