The word hermit comes from the Latin ĕrēmīta, meaning “of the desert”.
A hermit is a person who lives, to some degree, in seclusion from society.
HOW TO OBSERVE
To celebrate National Hermit Day, find a secluded place and shut out the rest of the world. Remove all electronics, modern-day conveniences and be hermit-like. Oh, before you do that use #NationalHermitDay to post on social media.
