Definition
A way out; an exit or departure, especially from a building or enclosed space.
Etymology
From Latin 'egredi,' combining 'e-' (out) and 'gradi' (to step or walk). It's the opposite of 'ingress' and literally means stepping out.
Kelly Says
Building codes legally require multiple egress points because of historical tragedies—the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911 killed 146 workers trapped in a building with blocked exits, which led to egress regulations that have saved countless lives since.
