Etymology
The word 'entry' originated from the Old French word 'entree', which means an entrance. It has been used in English since the 14th century to refer to the action of entering or a place where one enters. Over time, it has evolved to also mean an item in a list or a record. The word reflects the concept of moving into a new space or joining a competition, highlighting the idea of initiation or beginning.
