Etymology
Exclusivity comes from the Latin parts ex- 'out' and claudere 'to shut', like the common word exclude and the idea of being 'closed' to others. A helpful way to remember it is to see an exclusive club or product as 'shut' for most people and only open to a few. That's why it means being limited to a particular person, group, or area and not shared.
