A variant spelling of clausula; a concluding phrase, rhythmic ending, or cadence in music or rhetoric.
Variant of clausula, sometimes used in English to indicate a borrowed Latin term while maintaining the Latinate pronunciation and meaning.
This spelling variation is a relic of how English absorbed Latin terminology without completely naturalizing it—it's a word caught between languages, like a piece of Renaissance music between medieval and modern.
