inclusions
Items added in
Inclusions are things contained within something else.
In geology, an inclusion is foreign material trapped inside a mineral or rock—a tiny crystal, bubble, or fragment enclosed as the host formed.
Gemstones are graded partly on their inclusions: The diamond had visible inclusions that lowered its clarity.
The term extends to anything deliberately or accidentally incorporated: dietary inclusions, inclusions in a contract.
In social contexts, inclusion (singular) emphasizes welcoming marginalized groups; inclusions names specific accommodations or additions that serve this goal.
