사용 참고사항
Univolvacy is a highly technical term used almost exclusively in biology, ecology, and entomology. While the prompt identifies it as an adjective, it is most frequently used as a noun to describe the state or property of being univoltine.
자주 하는 실수
Learners often confuse this with general annual cycles of plants; however, this term is specifically preferred when discussing the 'broods' or 'generations' of insects or similar organisms.

어원
