singularizing
Reducing to one
Singularizing is making something singular—converting a plural to its singular form, or treating something as a single unit rather than a collection.
In linguistics and programming, singularizing transforms words like "cats" to "cat" or "children" to "child": The function handles singularizing irregular nouns.
More broadly, it means isolating or distinguishing one thing from a group.
