Detailed explanation-1: -mono-a combining form meaning “alone, ‘’ “single, ‘’ “one” (monogamy); specialized in some scientific terms to denote a monomolecular thickness (monolayer) and adapted in chemistry to apply to compounds containing one atom of a particular element (monohydrate).
Detailed explanation-2: -The prefix mono-and its variant mon-, which both mean “one, ‘’ are important prefixes in the English language. For instance, the prefix mono-gave rise to the words monologue and monotonous, whereas we find its variant mon-in words such as monarchy and monk.
Detailed explanation-3: -"Mono” is from Greek and “uni” from Latin, and there is a mild preference to use the prefix derived from the same language as the main word. 2. “Mono” carries a stronger sense of the meaning “alone” than “uni".
