of a set $M$ in a vector space $V$
The intersection of all flats (translates of subspaces) of $V$ containing $M$.
Comment
It is equal to the set of all finite linear combinations of elements $\{m_i : i=1,\ldots,n \}$ of $M$, $$ \sum_{i=1}^n c_i m_i $$ where the coefficients $c_i$ satisfy $$ \sum_{i=1}^n c_i = 1 \ . $$
