A warehouse or trading center, especially a port facility where goods are stored before being shipped elsewhere.
From French entrepôt (entre- between + pot place), ultimately from Latin. Became standard English in trade and colonial contexts.
Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor was historically THE entrepot of Asia—traders from everywhere would deposit goods there because it was neutral territory, making it the literal center of global commerce for centuries.
