1. shut in

   "Shut in" is a term generally used to refer to someone who is confined to their home or other indoor area, often due to physical or mental illness, disability, or social anxiety. In the oil and gas industry, it may also refer to the process of closing off a well temporarily for repair, maintenance, or reduction of production. Despite its negative connotation, in some contexts like the pandemic, a shut in can refer to anyone who stays indoors irrespective of their health or social status.
