MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. ovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone) , a member of a community of men living a
life
  under vows, of religiou observance; the
term
  is properly confined to a member of a
Christian
  community, but is sometimes applied to members of Buddhist and
Mahommedan
  religious brotherhoods. The
Greek
  and Latin name was first used of the hermits, but was early widened to embrace the coenobites. The
term
  "
monk
  " should not be used either of " friars " or of " canons
regular
 ."
