ALONE is colorless unless reinforced by ALL; it then suggests solitariness or desolation: alone in the house; all alone on an island. LONE is somewhat poetic or is intended humorously: a lone sentinel. LONELY implies a sad or disquieting feeling of isolation. LONESOME connotes emotion, a longing for companionship.
 Ant. 1. accompanied.
