Insularity: of, related to, or located on an island
In solidarity with yesterday's post about idyllic islands, today's word describe those persons, places, or things which are related to an island. This word is used to describe island life, while it can also be used to describe one's personality. For example, imagine a person who keeps to themselves, isolated as an island is from mainland.
Here is an example of how to use this word:
He was a quiet man, bathed in insularity. She had worked for him for over a decade, and yet she did not know so much as his birth date or home town.
Be sure to take things slow with this one, and do not be offended if it is slow to warm. This word may be the brother of our idyllic friend, but they are certainly unique in their personalities.
