Etymology
'single-functionality' originates from the combination of 'single' and 'functionality', where 'single' meant 'one' and 'functionality' referred to 'the quality of being functional'.
The term 'single-functionality' evolved from the need to describe devices or systems that perform one specific task, contrasting with multi-functional systems.
Initially, it meant 'having one function', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
