進去的那個開口
核心畫面本身:牆上那個可以穿過去的地方。
doorway · noun · A2
A door, gate, or opening that you go through to get into a place.
入口 / 大門
Picture the gap in a wall that lets you in: a door, a gate, an with people passing through it. Entrance can be thought of as that opening — and then as everything that happens at it. Standing there, you can look at the hole itself (the door), at the moment of through (the arrival), or at the guard deciding who may pass (the permission).
The noun entrance ('act of entering' 1520s, 'door, gate' 1530s) comes from French entrance, from entrer 'to enter'. The verb entrance 'to put into a trance, to delight' (1590s) is a separate, later English formation: en- 'in, into' + the noun trance. The two words are etymologically distinct and only look alike.
名詞 entrance(1520 年代指「進入這個動作」,1530 年代指「門、大門」)來自法文 entrance,源頭是 entrer「進入」。動詞 entrance「使入神、使著迷」(1590 年代)則是英文後來自己造的另一個字:字首 en-「進入…之中」加上名詞 trance(出神、恍惚),字面是「把某人放進恍惚狀態裡」。兩個 entrance 只是長得一樣,來路各自獨立。

能不能進去的資格
門口通常有人看著。視線從「開口」移到「守門的那道判斷」:這個字就變成准不准你穿過去。

使人入神(另一條來路)
這一支不是從門口長出來的比喻。它的畫面在人身上:一個人被美的東西看住,眼神放空、忘了周圍,像被放進恍惚裡。
