When did 'one' get re-defined to mean 'part of many'?
It always was. It's built right into our genes. Man is a gregarious animal, built for the tribe, cannot survive and/or thrive alone. Children raised without language from infancy can never speak. Children raised without culture from infancy can never be civilized. True hermits are extremely rare and come from abnormal psychology.
