Word origin

The word 'seclusion' originated from the Latin word 'secludere', which means 'to shut off, exclude'. It first appeared in the English language in the 17th century. Throughout history, seclusion has been valued by individuals seeking peace, privacy, and introspection. Whether in a remote cabin, a quiet garden, or a hidden retreat, seclusion offers a refuge from the noise and distractions of the world.
