ÚNICO
Latin Lemma
ūnĭcus
Latin Meaning
'one and no more; only, sole, single; alone of its kind, singular, uncommon, unparalleled, unique' (both ameliorative, 'unparalleled' and pejorative, 'singularly bad') L&S
While Lat. ūnĭcus is only used in the Vulgate New Testament by Luke to refer to an only child, translating Gk μονογενης, it is not used of Jesus as the only Son of God. Elsewhere in the New Testament (John, Hebrews, Epistle of John) μονογενης is translated into Lat. as unigenitus.
