twinless
Born alone, once paired
Twinless describes someone who has lost a twin sibling, or more broadly, lacking a twin.
The word appears most often in support communities for surviving twins: twinless twins gathering, a twinless twin support group.
It can also simply mean born without a twin: Most of us go through life twinless.
