Origin

Middle English (as a noun): from Old French escluse 'sluice gate', based on Latin excludere 'exclude'. The verb dates from the late 16th century.

exclude from Late Middle English:
Exclude is from Latin excludere ‘shut out’, from ex- ‘out’ and claudere ‘to shut’. The same root gives us, via French, a sluice gate used to shut off water flow, while seclude (Late Middle English) comes from claudere combined with se- ‘apart’.
