Anchorite
Anchorite (male)/anchoress (female), (adj. anchoritic; from the
Greek anachōreō, signifying "to withdraw", "to depart into the rural countryside"), denotes someone who, for religious reasons, withdraws from secular society so as to be able to lead an intensely prayer-oriented, ascetic and, circumstances permitting,
Eucharist-focused life. As a result, anchorites are usually considered to be a type of religious
hermit, although there are distinctions in their historical development and theology.
