single digit
One through nine
Single digit describes a number from zero through nine—those representable by one numeral.
The phrase typically appears in contexts where smallness matters: Temperatures dropped into the single digits, single-digit inflation, single-digit growth.
It often carries slight disappointment or concern, suggesting a number lower than hoped for or expected.
