Person who lives in solitude (7)

I believe the answer is:

recluse

(Other definitions for recluse that I've seen before include "Person who shuns companionship, lives alone" , "Hermit, loner" , "Person who lives alone and avoids others" , "One has withdrawn from society" , "One preferring solitude" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
