This word was found by mistake and gives a new perspective of isolation. My sister lives in a French speaking country for some time. We were talking about the people dancing on a Dalida song in the streets of Paris for 2 minutes before police came to spread them. And she said "Uau. O luam razna in confinare", kind of "Oh, this confinare is making us go crazy". For the moment I said she must have Romanized a French word, confinement. But later, I looked and this word exists. confiner in French / confina in Romanian meaning: to isolate, but also to adjoin and share a limit with someone.
