Rfv-sense: a male only child. I think this is more commonly used to mean the only male child in a group of children in a family. I did not find anything unambiguously in the RfVed sense at COCA. "An only child" and "an only son" and "an only daughter" are all idiomatic, I think, so "an only car" implies a peculiar relationship between owner and the car in question.

Seems redundant to sense at (deprecated template usage) only, which in fact uses the same example sentence. Equinox ◑ 15:19, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
