A way into a place, such as a door, gate, or opening. It can also mean the act of coming into a place in a noticeable way.
Noun: from Old French *entrada* ('entry'), influenced by *enter*. Verb (to entrance: 'to charm') is from Old French *entrancer* ('to put into a trance'). They share spelling but come from different roots.
English hides two different words in 'entrance': one is a doorway, the other is a spell. You can literally make an entrance at the entrance, and if you do it well, you entrance the audience.
