The function `addTo()` returns a function(internally called `add()`), lets store it in a variable called `addToFive` with a curried call having parameter 5.

Ideally, when the function `addTo` finishes execution, its scope, with local variables add, x, y should not be accessible. But, it returns 8 on calling `addToFive()`. This means that the state of the function `addTo` is saved even after the block of code has finished executing, otherwise there is no way of knowing that `addTo` was called as `addTo(5)` and the value of x was set to 5.
