Derived from the literal practice of physically closing doors to restrict access to a room where confidential discussions take place. The phrase combines the Middle English adjective 'closed' with 'door', paired with the Old English root 'mētan' (to meet), evolving into a standard political and corporate idiom by the 19th century to denote secrecy and privacy in deliberation.
