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.
