cierres

Cierres is the plural form of cierre in Spanish. The term comes from cerrar, meaning to close, and is used across disciplines to refer to something that closes or the act of closing, as well as to specific closing devices or events.

In everyday language, cierres are devices that close an opening or fasten an object. They include mechanical closures on garments, bags, and containers, such as cremalleras (zippers), broches, botones a presión, or imanes. The word can also refer to doors, gates, or windows with a closing mechanism, and more generally to any hardware that keeps something shut.

In finance and economics, "cierre" denotes the end of a period of trading or activity: el cierre del mercado, el precio de cierre de un valor (closing price). In legal and administrative contexts, "cierre" describes the conclusion of an action, process, or document, for example el cierre de un expediente or el cierre de una oficina.

Additionally, the term "cierres" appears in discussions of policy or geography, such as cierres fronterizos (border closures) or cierres de temporada (seasonal closures) in tourism or agriculture. The plural form is common when referring to multiple closing events, mechanisms, or prices across different domains.
