singularize
Reduce to one
Singularize means to make singular—to single out, individualize, or distinguish from a group.
In grammar and computing, it specifically means to convert a plural noun to its singular form: The function singularizes "children" to "child".
The word appears most often in programming contexts where databases or code need to transform plural table names into singular class names.
