Meanings

  1. (idiomatic, sequence) Used to introduce one reason or example among potentially several reasons for something that has been stated or is about to be explained.
    • Well, I’m having difficulties with the heating, for one thing.
    • Although it may be convenient within the case study publication format to cover the topic of pseudopathology in the discussion of differential diagnosis, this is not indicative of how this stage of work slots into the diagnostic process in the laboratory. For one thing, whether a hole or other cavity in bone is a true lesion or not is generally something that is obvious from the start, rather than something that remains to be resolved once one has got to the differential diagnosis stage. Second, identifying true lesions from taphonomic damage is something that is carried out on a lesion-by-lesion basis, whereas differential diagnosis is something that considers the relevant skeletal changes as a whole. 2023, Simon Mays, “The Macroscopic Study of Human Skeletal Paleopathology” (chapter 2), in The Routledge Handbook of Paleopathology, Routledge, →DOI, →ISBN, page 29:
