Definition of Coenabite

Cœn"o*bite (? or ?), n. See Cenobite.

- Webster's Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

COENOBITE, n. A man who piously shuts himself up to meditate upon the
sin of wickedness; and to keep it fresh in his mind joins a
brotherhood of awful examples.

O Coenobite, O coenobite,
Monastical gregarian,
You differ from the anchorite,
That solitudinarian:
With vollied prayers you wound Old Nick;
With dropping shots he makes him sick.

Quincy Giles

- 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue

  • a member of a monastic community
