Etymology
Singuratic is built on singur, meaning alone, which comes from Latin singulus. The adjectival suffix -atic, from Latin -aticus, turns the base into a description of a lasting trait: prone to being alone, solitary by nature. The same -atic pattern shows up in other Romanian adjectives derived from a noun or root plus this suffix.
