secludedly
|se-clud-ed-ly|
/sɪˈkluːd/
(seclude)
hidden, isolated
Etymology
'seclude' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'secludere', where 'se-' meant 'apart' and 'claudere' (or 'cludere') meant 'to shut'.
'seclude' entered English from Late Latin 'secludere' (via Medieval/Old French influences) and developed into Middle English forms before becoming the modern English 'seclude' and adjective 'secluded', from which 'secludedly' is formed.
Initially it meant 'to shut apart' or 'to separate by shutting away'; over time it evolved to mean 'to keep apart; isolate', and the adverb now means 'in an isolated or private manner.'
