It doesn't imply it - it states it explicitly. That doesn't mean there aren't more, though.

Would the term 'universe' imply that there is only one?

It just seem silly to require someone to "demonstrate" that the term "universe" is wrong and meaningless. If there's no evidence to support the notion that more than one universe exists, it only seems reasonable to assume there is but one universe.

The Universe is all of spacetime and everything that exists therein, including all planets, stars, galaxies, the contents of intergalactic space, the smallest subatomic particles, and all matter and energy.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Similar terms include the cosmos, the world, reality, and nature.
The estimated diameter of the observable universe is about 93 billion light years or 28 billion parsecs.[7]
Universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term 'observable universe' is typically used to differentiate between the stuff we can observe, and the stuff we cannot observe from Earth, so I don't really buy the "observable" argument.
It "seems" like the onus of responsibility to produce supporting evidence is still on the individual who's promoting a multiverse scenario.
Then use whatever term you need to use to describe different bubbles of spacetime that have different fundamental constants.
You're basically still talking about a multiverse theory, without any actual evidence that any other "spacetimes" with different constants exist.
We also lack evidence disproving their existence.
The fine tuning argument requires that our universe is the only one, or one of very few relative few.
That is what you claim, and yet you don't present anything to back it up.
The extremeness of the fine tuning is way overblown.
Isn't that what the fine tuning argument argues for? Doesn't it state that the constants we see in this universe could have been different?
Please provide evidence that other universes do not exist.

Imagine if you defined the universe as the Earth. You argue that the chances of getting a planet capable of supporting life are really slim. Later, you realize your folly. There are trillions of planets, and the odds of getting a planet like Earth are nearly guaranteed.

I addressed all your points (which were illogical paradoxes by the way). The Only argument that you have against the Fine Tuning is that you don't accept it and you HOPE that it is due to chance or necessity, i answered for BOTH.
As I navigate it, Universe means: One set/word/phrase.
Nope, you didn't adress anything.
And your second comment about what you think my arguments are proves this.
Stop debating against the arguments you want me to make, and instead adress the things I've actually writen (or better: Don't just apply that to my arguments... do it with all arguments, because you show a clear tendency of ignoring all arguments that don't agree with your view, not just mine). Otherwise, you will never have a fruitfull conversation.
What arguments i didn't addressed? Please show me..
If the universe is one in a sphere stack of infinite equal sized universes then the universe is finely tuned by its border conditions and each universe is tuned exactly the same.
Dark energy would be ruled by the amount of space taken up by spheres vs space between. Maximum value of 74%. This was modern sciences first estimate of the dark energy expansive influence.
The same could be said for the topic of God, but your wouldn't expect someone to *demonstrate* that there is no God, would you?
We only observe one AFAIK.
