The dwelling place of a hermit, usually a remote or isolated location where someone lives alone for spiritual reasons.
From Old French hermitage, from hermite (hermit), ultimately from Greek eremos (solitary). The suffix -age denotes a place or dwelling.
The word 'hermit' comes from Greek 'eremos' meaning alone, and hermitages throughout history were built in some of the most extreme locations—mountains, deserts, islands—showing how seriously people took solitude as a spiritual practice.
