'isolated' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'i with saint right in local relocated' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'saint' becomes 'st'.
'right' becomes 'R' (common abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'relocated' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'st'+'r'='istr'
'local' anagrammed gives 'cloal'.
'istr' put within 'cloal' is 'CLOISTRAL'.

'and' acts as a link.
