Which single word means ‘a person who lives in solitude, especially for religious or spiritual reasons’?

Explanation

A ‘hermit’ is a person who lives in solitude, traditionally for religious or spiritual reasons, deliberately withdrawing from society to focus on contemplation or devotion. While the word is often used similarly to ‘recluse,’ a person who simply avoids the company of others for any reason, ‘hermit’ more specifically carries this traditional spiritual or religious connotation.
