This verb means to make or become solitary, to be left alone or isolated. In 1 Timothy 5:5, it describes the true widow who is left entirely alone without family support. The multilingual glosses identify being left alone or isolated (Spanish dejada sola, German vereinsamt). Classical usage includes being forsaken, isolated in battle, or taken aside without witnesses. The perfect passive participle here emphasizes the enduring state of solitude and vulnerability resulting from loss of family.
