incluir

/inˈklwiɾ/ · A2 · verb

to include, to enclose, to contain

📦 incluir = in + cluir (Latin claudere, to shut): shut in, so include

Same Latin root as English include: in- (in) + claudere (to close). Whatever is shut inside is part of the whole. The -cluir ending repeats in excluir (shut out) and concluir (close fully), so one root unlocks three verbs.
