solitude |ˈsäləˌt(y)oōd|
.nounthe state or situation of being alone she savored her few hours of freedom and solitude.• a lonely or uninhabited place.ORIGIN Middle English : from Old French, or from Latinsolitudo, from solus ‘alone.’THE RIGHT WORDLoneliness, which refers to a lack of companionship and is often associated with unhappiness, should not be confused with solitude, which is the state of being alone or cut off from all human contact (the solitude of the lighthouse keeper).You can be in the midst of a crowd of people and still experience loneliness, but not solitude, since you are not physically alone. Similarly, if you enjoy being alone, you can have solitude without loneliness.Lonesomeness is more intense than loneliness, suggesting the downheartedness you may experience when a loved one is absent (she experienced lonesomeness following the death of her dog).Desolation is more intense still, referring to a state of being utterly alone or forsaken (the widow's desolation). Desolation can also indicate a state of ruin or barrenness (the desolation of the volcanic islands).Alienation, disaffection, and estrangement have less to do with being or feeling alone and more to do with emotions that change over time.Alienation is a word that suggests a feeling of unrelatedness, especially a feeling of distance from your social or intellectual environment (alienation from society).Disaffection suggests that you now feel indifference or even distaste toward someone you were once fond of (:a wife's growing disaffection for her husband), whileestrangement is a voluntary disaffection that can result in complete separation and strong feelings of dislike or hatred (a daughter's estrangement from her parents).
