Solus

Solus means (referring to a man) alone; by oneself (used formerly in stage directions).

In Genesis' second account of creation, God concludes that it is not good for a man to be solus. (Genesis 2:18)

Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him." (Genesis 2:18, NASB)
