Word: stay-at-home Part of Speech: noun 1. A person or animal that prefers to stay at home rather than socialize or travel. Example: I had a fancy to go there [Archangel in Russia].

I almost envy those stay-at-homes for whom Europe and the world is quite unproved. Example: Some animals are stay-at-homes, and some are travelers and migrate. Tommy, who finds this out, is a little like both. 2. A parent who is not employed and rather devoting more time to children.
