from the world and devoted to religion and celibacy; also,

[1913 Webster]

Syn: Monastery; convent; nunnery; priory; cloister. See

ABBEY, abbatia, is a society of religious persons, having an abbot or abbess
to preside over them. Formerly some of the most considerable abbots and
priors in England had seats and votes in the house of lords. The prior of
St. John's of Jerusalem, was styled the first baron of England, in respect
to the lay barons, but he was the last of the spiritual barons.
