secluding

/sᵻklˈudɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of seclude

Word Origin Seclude literally means 'to shut apart' — from Latin se- 'aside' and cludere 'to close'. The idea is closing something off from others. The root cludere gives us include (shut in), exclude (shut out), conclude (shut together, end), and recluse (shut away person). Secluding is the act of isolating.
