On wikipedia, in the definition of CW complex, it states that
A subset of X is closed if and only if it meets the closure of each cell in a closed set.
What does this mean? I don't need an intuitive explanation or anything, I just literally don't know what it means. Does "meet" mean their intersection is nonempty? And "a closed set", what does that refer to? Literally an arbitrary closed set?
It means that a subset $C\subseteq X$ is closed if and only if $C\cap e$ is closed for any closed cell $e$. Note that the notion of "closed cell" (as in image of glueing map) and "closure of (open) cell" coincide.
