CLOSE (from Lat. clausum, shut)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 556 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
CLOSE (from Lat. clausum, shut) , a closed place or enclosure. In English law, the
term
  is applied to a portion of land, enddsed or not, held as private property, and to any exclusive
interest
  in land sufficient to maintain an action for trespass quare clausum fregit. ' The word is also used, particularly in
Scotland
 , of the entry or passage, including the common staircase, of a
block
  of tenement houses, and in architecture for the precincts of a
cathedral
  or abbey.
The
adjective
  " close " (i.e. closed) is found in several phrases, such as " close time " or " close season " (see GAME
LAws
 ); close borough, one of which the rights and privileges were enjoyed by a limited class (see BOROUGH); close rolls and'writs, royal letters, &c., addressed to particular persons, under seal, and not open to public inspection (see
RECORD
 ; Chancery; LETTERS PATENT). From the sense of " closed up," and so " confined," comes the common meaning of " near."
