Alleingrund

Alleingrund is a term of German origin that translates literally to "sole reason" or "only ground." It signifies the single, exclusive justification or cause for an action, decision, or phenomenon. In legal contexts, Alleingrund can refer to the sole basis for a legal claim or defense. In philosophy, it might denote the ultimate or primary reason for existence or a particular state of affairs. The concept emphasizes uniqueness and absence of contributing factors, implying that if this single reason were absent, the outcome would not occur. It is often used to distinguish a primary cause from secondary or concurrent factors. The term highlights a singular point of causality or justification.
