Coenobite

/ˈsiːnəbaɪt/ noun

Definition

A member of a monastic community living under a common rule; a monk or nun who practices communal religious life rather than solitary monasticism.

Etymology

From Greek 'koinos' (common) + 'bios' (life). Entered English via Late Latin and medieval religious texts, describing those who chose shared rather than hermitic monastic practice.

Kelly Says

Coenobites created the template for how large groups can live together—their Rule of St. Benedict was basically the first detailed instruction manual for running an organization, and it influenced everything from universities to corporations.
