Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Middle English 'single' (from Latin 'singulus', meaning separate or individual) and 'bond' (from Old English 'bonda', related to 'bindan', to tie). The chemical sense emerged in the late 19th century with the development of valence bond theory to describe a chemical bond formed between two atoms by sharing a single pair of electrons.
