What Wikipedia says

A clathrate or clathrate compound is a type of inclusion compound in which a guest atom, ion, or molecule is enclosed in a cage-like cavity formed by a host molecule or by an extended host lattice. The term is derived from the Latin clatratus, meaning 'with bars' or 'latticed'.
