inclusion

Etymology

Borrowed from Latin inclusio, inclusionis, from the verb Latin inclūdō (“to shut in, enclose, insert”), from in- (“in”) + claudō (“to shut”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kleh₂u- (“key, hook, nail”). By surface analysis, include + -sion. Doublet of enclosure.

  1. derived from *(s)kleh₂w-✻
  2. derived from inclūdō
  3. borrowed from inclusio
