Definition:
Quarantine separates people or places for protection, drawing a clear line around risk. The boundary can feel practical, but also heavy with distance and waiting. Quarantine changes how time moves, turning ordinary days into measured stretches. It carries the sense of a door closed for a reason not fully seen. The word captures isolation shaped by caution and consequence.
