Like monastery life (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

austere

'like monastery life' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for austere that I've seen before include "Stern, grave" , "Severe in manner" , "Hard" , "Lacking comforts; strict" , "Serious" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
