single leg

Lone standing support

Single leg refers to a wrestling takedown where the attacker grabs one of the opponent's legs and drives through to bring them down: He shot in for a single leg and finished with a trip.

In finance, single leg describes an options trade involving just one contract, as opposed to multi-leg strategies like spreads or straddles.
