Where it comes from
From uni- + cameral.
adjective
-
Of, or having, a single legislative chamber.
Those who criticize bicameralism stress that a unicameral legislature will be more efficient and faster in taking decisions.
Opposite: bicameral, tricameral
- Of a script or typeface: making no distinction between upper and lower case, but rather having only one case. In the ancient world, Greek was written in a script that was unicameral and atonic. It consisted of a single set of forms – the ones we now regard as upper case. There was little or no punctuation, and there were no diacritics.
