The term "conclave," derived from the Latin cum clave, indicates a closed meeting in which the cardinals elect the new pope. It was introduced by Pope Honorius III in 1216. Originally, in 1270, the inhabitants of Viterbo locked the cardinals with a key to expedite the election. The first "cum clave" conclave was in 1118 with the election of Pope Gelasius II.
