stay-at-home
Doesn't go out
Stay-at-home describes someone who remains at home rather than going out to work or socialize.
A stay-at-home parent cares for children full-time instead of holding outside employment.
The term can also describe a homebody—someone who prefers domestic life to going out: He's a real stay-at-home type.
As a noun, it names such a person.
