The Word

Monasticism (from Greek μοναχός, monachos, derived from μόνος, monos, "alone") is a religious way of life that involves renouncing worldly pursuits to fully devote one's self to spiritual work. The origin of the word is from Ancient Greek, and the idea originally related to Buddhist monks in 550 BC.
