The word "incloser" is often misspelled as "enclosure" due to its uncommon use. The IPA phonetic transcription for the correct spelling is /ɪnˈkloʊzər/. It is derived from the verb "enclose" which means to surround or shut in. The prefix "in-" is added to the root word to indicate that something is being contained, while the suffix "-er" denotes that it is a person or thing that performs a certain action. Therefore, "incloser" is a person or thing that encloses or confines something.
One who or that which incloses.

The word "incloser" is derived from the Old French term "enclos", which means "enclosure" or "to enclose". The Old French word can be traced back to the Latin word "inclausus", which carries a similar meaning of "shut in" or "closed". Over time, this Latin word evolved into the Middle English term "inclosure" and eventually into the modern spelling "enclosure". The word "incloser" is an alternative spelling that was used in Middle English and is now considered archaic.
