Entry

/ˈɛntri/ noun

Definition

The act of going into a place. It can also mean an item written in a list, diary, or record.

Etymology

From Old French *entree* ('entry, entrance'), from Latin *intrare* ('to go in'). The sense of a written item developed from the idea of 'putting something into a record.'

Kelly Says

An 'entry' can be a physical crossing or a written one—your body goes into a room, your words go into a book. Both are about joining a space that will now remember you were there.
