Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Late Latin word reclusus, past participle of recludere (to shut up, close), formed from re- (back, away) and claudere (to close). It entered the English language in the early 17th century, shifting from its early literal meaning of being shut away in a religious seclusion to describing any person who lives apart from society.
