Usage Note
Clore is a formal or literary verb meaning to close or bring to an end, used mainly for debates, meetings, or files (clore un débat, clore un dossier). It is largely defective: the present tense forms are rarely used; clôturer serves as a more common substitute. The past participle is clos (closed).
Examples
"Il faut clore ce débat maintenant."
Natural Translation
We must close this debate now.
