Buenas tardes,

¿Os suena la palabra ´aposentillo´? No sale en ningún diccionario en la red. Os doy más contexto...

...el cura se encierra en un humilde aposentillo junto a la ermita...

Un saludo,

Jeff

small chamber
Explanation:
"aposento" puede traducirse también como "chamber", y esta palabra se usa más veces que "room" en la Biblia, aunque la palabra "room" es correcta.
Espero te sirva...

cell


Explanation:
la palabra que más comunmente se usa parsa aposentos en el ambiente de conventos y casas para religiosos tanto en inglé como en español, no es aposento ni chamber, but cell. Already the name implies small and it's what monks to this day call their bedrooms. We tend to hinkk of it as a prisonners room, but it's also a monastery bedroom.
