door
Entrance, the act of entering, refers merely to the fact of passing from without to within some enclosure; admission and admittance refer to entering by or with some one’s consent, or at least to opportunity afforded by some one’s act or neglect. We may effect or force an entrance, but not admittance or admission; those we gain, procure, obtain, secure, win. Admittance refers to place, admission refers also to position, privilege, favor, friendship, etc. An intruder may gain admittance to the hall of a society who would not be allowed admission to its membership. Approach is a movement toward another; access is coming all the way to his presence, recognition, and consideration. An unworthy favorite may prevent even those who gain admittance to a king’s audience from obtaining any real access to the king. Entrance is also used figuratively for setting out upon some career, or becoming a member of some organization; as, we speak of one’s entrance upon college life, or of entrance into the ministry.

Définition of door
Origin :
- Middle English merger of Old English dor (neuter; plural doru) «large door, gate,» and Old English duru (fem., plural dura) «door, gate, wicket;» both from Proto-Germanic *dur- (cf. Old Saxon duru, Old Norse dyrr, Danish dør, Old Frisian dure, Old High German turi, German Tür).
- The Germanic words are from PIE *dhwer- «a doorway, a door, a gate» (cf. Greek thura, Latin foris, Gaulish doro «mouth,» Gothic dauro «gate,» Sanskrit dvárah «door, gate,» Old Persian duvara- «door,» Old Prussian dwaris «gate,» Russian dver’ «a door»).
- The base form is frequently in dual or plural, leading to speculation that houses of the original Indo-Europeans had doors with two swinging halves. Middle English had both dure and dor; form dore predominated by 16c., but was supplanted by door.
- A door is what a dog is perpetually on the wrong side of. [Ogden Nash]
- noun entrance to room, building
