–verb (used with object)
1. to cover, line, or separate with a material that prevents or reduces the passage, transfer,
or
leakage of heat, electricity, or sound: to insulate an [electric] wire with a rubber sheath; to insulate a coat with [down].
2. to place in an isolated situation or condition; segregate.
Yet those vacillations are something to see.
Unlike many child actors who’ve made the successful [transition] to grown-up roles, DiCaprio hasn’t evolved in predictable ways—there are no clear [lines] of demarcation. His boys were unusually centered, his adults unusually boyish.
His wide face still carries some insulating baby-fat, like Elvis Presley’s and Bill Clinton’s (before the latest weight loss), and Mendes uses that insulation against him, sometimes cruelly: What was self-assured and [spring]-heeled in Titanic now looks dodgy.
seclude (v.)
cf. recluse (a. n.)
deracinate
insulate
to insulate an [electric] wire with a rubber sheath.
to insulate a coat with [down].
hermit
hermetic
within a hermetically [sealed] world where everyone shares the same values and expectations
