🎤Pronunciation
🌳Etymology
Origin
Entry derives from Latin intrare (to enter, go in), which passed through Old French entree before entering English. The word originally denoted the act of entering or going in, and later expanded to mean a recorded item, a submitted work, or an admission to a place or event.
Breakdown
in- (in) + -trare (to go) from Latin intrare. The Old French form entree became entry in English, preserving the prefix in- (meaning in/into) combined with the root trare (go/walk).
