1940 W. V. Quine Math. Logic i. 13 Conjunction and alternation are binary, in that they combine statements two at a time. But denial..is singulary. [Note] The series of adjectives ‘binary’, ‘ternary’, ‘quaternary’, ‘quinary’,..leaves mathematicians in a quandary when n = 1. It is customary to stammer out some such makeshift as ‘unary’ or ‘uninary’ or ‘unitary’. But the proper word is apparent if we reflect that the series of Latin distributives ‘bini’, ‘terni’, ‘quaterni’, ‘quini’,..begins with ‘singuli’.

1965 Language 41 270 Robert Stockwell has described rules that indicate the colorless patterns for kernel sentences and unary transformations.

1968 J. J. C. Smart Between Sci. & Philos. ii. 24 ‘Not’ can be thought of as a unary sentence connective.

1973 C. W. Gear Introd. Computer Sci. iii. 104 The unary arithmetic operators take precedence over all of the binary operators and must be performed first.

1976 J. S. Gruber Lexical Struct. Syntax & Semantics ii. i. 266 If the treatment is through a unary transformation that alters structure, the dependency of the transformation on apparently semantic factors becomes a matter of graver theoretical consequences.

3. Composed of a single item or element.
