Isolated, separated, or hidden away from others; kept apart from society or contact.
From Latin 'sequestrare' meaning 'to set apart' or 'to seclude,' from 'sequester' (trustee). Originally a legal term for property set aside, it evolved to mean isolating people or things.
Jury sequestration became famous during high-profile trials when jurors are locked away to prevent outside influence—they're literally separated like court evidence! It's one of law's most dramatic privacy measures.
