To single out means to choose or select one person or thing from a group for special attention. This can involve identifying someone or something as distinct from others, often for a specific purpose or consideration. The term is commonly used in contexts where a particular choice needs to be made based on certain criteria or when there is a need to highlight an individual or an element among many.
