The word "singleton" usually means "thing with only one item". For
example, {a} is a singleton set containing only a, and with matrices,
any dimension of size one is called a singleton dimension, and so on.
In this case, a singleton map is a map with only one key-value pair,
such as {a:b}.

The singleton design antipattern is not relevant here.
