Pronunciation: [ɪnklˈə͡ʊzd] (IPA) 
The word "inclosed" is spelled with the letter "c" instead of "s". This spelling is due to the historical evolution of the English language where the letter "c" was originally used for the "s" sound. The IPA phonetic transcription of "inclosed" would be /ɪnˈkloʊzd/, with the stress on the second syllable. This word means "to surround or close in", and it can also be spelled as "enclosed" with the more modern usage of the letter "s".
The term "inclosed" is an archaic spelling variation of the word "enclosed." In its verb form, "inclose" refers to the action of surrounding or shutting something within boundaries. It implies the act of confining or enclosing an object, person, or space. When something is "inclosed," it means it has been enclosed within limits or barriers, typically to keep it separate from its surroundings.
The process of "inclosing" often involves the use of physical barriers, such as walls, fences, or containers, to surround or encase an area or an object. This can be done for various purposes, such as protection, security, privacy, or containment. For instance, a letter may be "inclosed" in an envelope to ensure its confidentiality or to protect it during transportation. Similarly, a garden may be "inclosed" by a fence to prevent unwanted entry or to create a safe and controlled environment for the plants and people inside.
In more abstract contexts, "inclosed" can also refer to the action of confining or limiting something intangible, like emotions, information, or ideas. For example, one may "inclose" their thoughts in a diary or "inclose" their emotions to avoid revealing them to others.
Overall, "inclosed" is an antiquated spelling of "enclosed" that describes the act of surrounding, confining, or shutting something within definite borders or limits.
Surrounded; confined on all sides; covered, as with a case or envelope.

The word inclosed comes from the Old English word inclosian, which is derived from the Latin word inclaudere. Includere is a combination of the prefix in- meaning into or in, and claudere meaning to shut or to close. Over time, inclosian evolved and changed in spelling to become inclosed, which means to shut in or enclose.
