- 1僻靜的、與世隔絕的
A sequestered place is quiet and far away from people — a cottage at the end of a lane, a valley with no shops, a room nobody walks past. The feeling is not only “quiet” but “set apart,” as if the place has been taken out of ordinary life. Writers like the word because it sounds peaceful and a little hidden. Friends would more often say quiet, hidden, or out of the way; sequestered is a grown-up, word. In law you may also hear that a jury has been sequestered, meaning they are kept away from other people during a trial. That is the same “set apart” idea, but the sense here is the place: remote, still, and not in the middle of things. It is not about taking someone’s house for unpaid bills — that is a different, sharper law word, .
組成The -ed form of sequester, “to set apart.” That verb probably comes from Latin for putting something aside, into someone else’s keeping. The pieces are not obvious in the English spelling.
