  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Singleton set
Note that a set such as {{1,2,3}} is also a singleton: the only element is a set (which itself is however not a singleton).
In axiomatic set theory, the existence of singletons is a consequence of the axiom of empty set and the axiom of pairing: the former yields the empty set {}, and the latter, applied to the pairing of {} and {}, yields the singleton {{}}.
If A is any set and S is any singleton, then there exists precisely one function from A to S, the function sending every element of A to the one element of S.

 Math Notes - Relations
Suppose that the element ‘a’ is a member of the universal set U.  The set {a} is a singleton set.  A singleton set represents a set such that all members of the set equal the same element.  Thus, a singleton set may be defined as the following axiom.
Some properties of singleton sets are not generally true for all sets.  Theorem 3 is an equivalence expression for singleton sets, but only an implication if generalized to all sets.
Theorem 3: {a} Í P Ú {a} Í Q º {a} Í (P È Q) A singleton set is a member of a set or the set’s complement.  This property is not generally true of sets with two or more elements.

The sets {a,b}, {a,c}, and {b,c} can be "fused" into the set {a,b,c} which is the smallest set which has all of them as "parts" (subsets), but the "fusion" of {a,b} and {a,c} gives the same result.
My suggestion is that the role of the singleton construction is _semantic_; a singleton is a kind of _name_ for its element; a way of putting it which is perhaps better is that the singleton is a _token_ used to replace its element in the construction of sets.
This formulation of the notion of "set" avoids (and perhaps illuminates) Russell's paradox: Let R be the "set of all sets which are not elements of themselves".
