I am trying to fit a footnote into a single column in an overall two-column layout (like the two columns shown below)

enter image description here

How can I get the footnote to appear under only a single column instead?

The ftnright package does exactly this.

ETA: According to this answer How to "force" a footnote to extend over both columns in a twocolumn article? the multicol package can do this.
