Specifics

Specific examples and quotes of anchorite

According to Merriam-Webster, the term "anchor" was being used for spiritual hermits about 450 years before "anchorite" came into common use in our language. The reclusive "anchor" and "anchorite" are both derived from the Late Latin anachoreta, which, in turn, can be traced to the Greek anakhorein, meaning "to withdraw, to retreat" or anakhorētēs "one who has retired/retreated" (from society or the world).

The lucid explanation would be "one who has left society as to live life according to their ankh and gy".
