Short for entrepôt; a warehouse or trading center, mainly in historical or French usage.
Abbreviated form of entrepôt from French entre (between) + pot (a place to put), ultimately from Latin.
Colonial entreps were the Amazon warehouses of the 1700s—central hubs where traders could temporarily store goods from multiple suppliers before reshipping them, creating the first truly international supply chains.
