Cloister garth (Arch.), the garden or open part of a court
inclosed by the cloisters.
Syn: Cloister, Monastery, Nunnery, Convent, Abbey,
Priory.
Usage: Cloister and convent are generic terms, and denote a
place of seclusion from the world for persons who
devote their lives to religious purposes. They differ
is that the distinctive idea of cloister is that of
seclusion from the world, that of convent, community
of living. Both terms denote houses for recluses of
either sex. A cloister or convent for monks is called
a monastery; for nuns, a nunnery. An abbey is a
convent or monastic institution governed by an abbot
or an abbess; a priory is one governed by a prior or a
prioress, and is usually affiliated to an abbey.
