• Proto-Indo-European: *kel- ("to hide, cover")

Meaning:

• Isolated, withdrawn from society or public view
• Hidden, private, or confidential

Origin:

The word "secluded" originated from the Latin verb secludere, which means "to close off" or "to seclude." This verb is derived from the prefix se- ("apart, away") and the verb claudere ("to close").

The Medieval Latin term seclusus was used to describe hermits or monks who lived in isolation from society. Over time, the word "secluded" evolved to refer to any person or place that is isolated or away from public view.
