The older, original definitions of "singularity" were less about "herp derp superintelligent AI blah blah".
and just about "we cannot really predict beyond certain things" (Vinge's "Singularity" (1993) with its "opaque wall across future")

This was likely already the case in the ancient world. It was certainly the case by the mid to late 15th century.
