👉 The term "noncloistered" in the context of a monastery or religious order is used to describe an individual who has not been initiated into the monastic life. This implies that they have not undergone the rigorous regimen and discipline associated with the monastic lifestyle, such as abstinence from meat, wine, and sexual activity. Noncloistered individuals are typically those who have completed their formation or have retired from the monastery after attaining a certain level of spiritual maturity.
