single individual
Lone human being
A single individual is one person, considered alone rather than as part of a group.
The phrase is technically redundant—individual already implies one—but appears in legal, administrative, and formal contexts where precision matters: No single individual can be held responsible for this failure.
It emphasizes the solitary nature of the person in question.
