   1. A man who retires from the ordinary temporal concerns of

      poverty. "A monk out of his cloister." --Chaucer.
      [1913 Webster]

            Monks in some respects agree with regulars, as in
            the substantial vows of religion; but in other
            respects monks and regulars differ; for that
            regulars, vows excepted, are not tied up to so
            strict a rule of life as monks are.   --Ayliffe.
      [1913 Webster]
