Definition
The practice or way of life of a hermit; living alone in isolation for religious or spiritual reasons.
Etymology
From hermit (from Greek eremites 'living in desert') plus -ry suffix meaning 'practice or condition of.' The word evolved from early Christian monks who withdrew to deserts for contemplation.
Kelly Says
Hermitry became especially popular in the early Christian era when people thought isolation brought them closer to God, but many hermits actually became famous—defeating the purpose of hiding!
