Deserted in Malayalam
When a place is deserted, Malayalam calls it ഏകാന്ത (ekaantha), an adjective for anything lonely, secluded or emptied of people. It is built from the sense of one-ness, so it suits a quiet road, a shut house or a solitary stretch of shore. Writers use it freely in description, and speakers understand it at once.
Lonely, deserted, secluded, solitary.
ഏകാന്തമായ വഴിയിൽ ആരും ഇല്ലായിരുന്നു.
ekaanthamaaya vazhiyil aarum illaayirunnu.
There was nobody on the lonely road.
