- 1居家型的人、愛待在家裡的人。台灣口語會說「很宅」，但「宅男／宅女」常多了一層御宅族的意思，跟單純愛待在家不完全一樣。
A homebody is a person who likes being at home and is happy to stay in rather than go out. A homebody would rather read, cook, or watch a film on the sofa than go to a loud party. It is informal and usually kind — even a little fond — though people sometimes tease a friend with it. It does not mean the person never leaves the house; it means home is where they feel most like themselves. Body here just means “person,” the same idea as in somebody. It is a light, everyday word, more spoken than written.

組成home + body. Body here means “person,” not the physical body.
