non-singular
Not just one
Non-singular describes something that isn't singular—not alone, not unique, not one of a kind.
In grammar, non-singular forms include plurals and other categories indicating more than one.
In mathematics, a non-singular matrix has an inverse and a nonzero determinant, making it useful for solving systems of equations.
The term appears across technical fields wherever the opposite of singular needs naming.
