single-handedness
Acting without assistance
Single-handedness is the quality of doing something alone, without help or assistance.
The term applies both literally—using only one hand—and figuratively to solo effort: The single-handedness of her achievement made it all the more impressive.
It can also refer to the condition of having or favoring one hand, as in studies of handedness and dexterity.
