Etymology
Exclusivity comes from the Latin parts ex- 'out' and claudere 'to shut', the same root as the word exclude. Think of it as 'shutting out' other sellers so only one person or company has the right to sell or represent something. That's why in business it means having sole rights to sell or distribute a product.
