Seemingly from a Slavic placename. Compare perhaps Kłosowice (German Klossowitz), though this is not to say that a relation with this particular village exists. The family was of lesser nobility and did not have a long-standing tradition. (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)
