Etymology

From Latin intrāre (to enter); fundamental Latin root shared with English 'enter' and 'intrude.'

Kelly Says

The French entrer and English enter look totally different, but they're literally the same word—both come straight from Latin, showing how two languages kept the same root but pronunciation evolved completely differently over 1,500 years.
