Origin: Latin
Meaning: "To enclose with a key"
The word "conclave" originally referred to a room or place that was locked and inaccessible, particularly during the election of a new Pope.
In the 13th century, the Cardinals of the Catholic Church established a rule that the election of a new Pope must take place in a locked room, known as the "conclave." This was done to prevent outside influences and ensure the confidentiality of the voting process.
The term "conclave" has since been extended to refer to any closed meeting or assembly, especially one that is held in private and with restricted access. It often implies a sense of secrecy and deliberation.
