singlehandedly

/ˌsɪŋɡəɫˈhændɪdɫi/ adj

Alternative spelling of single-handedly.

Word Origin Singlehandedly means doing something with one hand — alone, unaided. Single from Latin 'singulus' (one at a time). Hand from Proto-Germanic 'handuz'. The -ed makes it an adjective, -ly an adverb. The same 'single' gives us singly, singleness, and single (unmarried). So singlehandedly is 'in a one-handed manner'.
