A recluse is someone who chooses to live alone and does not like seeing or talking to other people. It is not shyness for a week; it is a way of life, or a long habit of staying away. Writers, some religious people, and people who have withdrawn after hurt or fame get called recluses. The word can sound a little literary or old-fashioned. Though actually, news writers still use it for a living person who almost never appears in public. It is stronger than : an may still have friends and a job; a recluse has away from other people.
隱士；隱居者
組成From Old French reclus, from Latin reclūdere, from re- + claudō (“close”). English took the French past participle as a person shut away from the world.
