'Lonely' has undergone a similar semantic journey too – while it typically has an emotional meaning, it derives from 'alone' (itself a fusion of 'all' and 'one'), which just refers to the simple fact of solitude.

Sōlus, Latin for 'only, alone', is the origin of various English words that have similar meanings, such as 'sole', 'solitary' and (via Italian) 'solo'.
One descendant of sōlus that's less obvious, having shifted in its meaning to 'sulky, morose', is the adjective 'sullen'.
Thank you to @UoYPress for summarising my study on loneliness and solitude. The story is available here👇
A study @DeptEdYork @UniOfYork exploring loneliness and solitude during #lockdown highlights how different people experienced social restrictions as either “hell or bliss”. Read about the research here: york.ac.uk/news-and-events/n…

In it, we identify facets of aloneness experienced by participants during the first UK COVID-19 lockdown.
These include social, emotional and existential loneliness, and solitude. @GOALS_York @DeptEdYork @UCL_Loneliness @EndLonelinessUK #loneliness #qualitative

Rowena found variation in needs: pple identify with the ‘positively connected self’ (desired social contact is fulfilled), the ‘negatively connected self’ (desired social contact is unfulfilled), or with the ‘independent self’ (whereby social contact is not desired)

My first authored paper with the brilliant @KathrynAsbury1 is now available here as a pre-print. It asks if children think it is important to predict learning and behaviour differences and if children think genetic screening has a role to play in this. psyarxiv.com/s493d/
