Statistics deals with determination of enough data points to be able to predict future outcomes. A single observation is not enough to establish reality or predict the future outcome. If you flip a coin and it lands heads, is it enough to say that every time you flip a coin it will be heads? Of course not!

What is the definition of Standard deviation of a single measurement?

The standard deviation of a single observation is not defined. With a single observation, the mean of the observation(s) would be the same as the value of the observation itself.
