Etymology
From Middle English beclosen, biclosen, alteration (due to Middle English closen) of earlier biclusen, from Old English beclȳsan (“to close, shut what is open, conclude, put an end to, shut up in a place, enclose, confine, imprison, shut out, exclude”), equivalent to be- + close. See also cluse.
