Calyx (plural: calyces) means "cup" or seed pod/outer covering (from it botanical usage). In anatomy it refers primarily to that tissue which surrounds the apex of the renal pyramid. Urine passes through the papilla (apex) into the calyx and finds it was outside in the renal pelvis and dribbling down the ureter to be held in the urinary bladder until urination.
