A person who enters or has just entered, especially someone joining a competition, organization, or market for the first time.
From French 'entrant' (entering), present participle of 'entrer' (to enter), from Latin 'intrare.' Common in English since the 1500s.
First-time 'entrants' to markets often beat established players because they're not trapped by 'how things have always been done'—this is why startups disrupt industries with fresh perspectives.
