EN: only one, sole
When it's just one. "Bakit iisa lang ang laman ng Pringles can ko?!" It's that feeling of singularity. Can be romantic ("iisang pag-ibig"), tragic ("iisang bala"), or just plain annoying ("iisang piraso na lang ng chicken nugget?!"). It emphasizes the "oneness".
From 'isa' (one), with reduplication of the first syllable to add emphasis.
This is an adjective derived from the number 'isa' (one). The reduplication 'i-i' adds emphasis, meaning "one and only" or "just one."
