释义 | Culdeen.adj. A. n. 1. A member of an ancient Scoto-Irish religious order, found from the eighth century onwards.The name appears to have been first given to solitary recluses; these were afterwards associated into communities of anchorites or hermits, and finally brought under the canonical rule along with the secular clergy, ‘until at length the name became almost synonymous with that of secular canon’.
