Morphology
solitude = solitary (transparent) = solit + itude
The noun expresses the state of being 'solitary'/'alone' formed by a recognisable abstract noun suffix (-itude); learners who know 'solitary' or 'alone' can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Solitude comes from the Latin word solus, meaning 'alone', and is like the English words solo and solitary. Think of a singer performing solo—being alone by choice and finding peace—and that image explains why solitude means a calm state of being alone.
