Solitude. Dimorach, apparently for diamarach, or diomarach (as it is sometimes written), a n. subst. derived from diamair, ‘secret,’ ‘lonely.’ The name is still preserved in the form ‘Diamor,’ the name of a place about ten miles to the west of Kells, and very near Kilskeery (Cill-Scire).—See Joyce’s Irish Names of Places, 2d series, p. 454.
