覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
entrance＋way で「入るための通り道」と分けると覚える。entrance だけでも「入口」だが、entranceway はドア1枚というより、玄関口や出入りのための空間まで含む感じがある。entryway はかなり近い仲間で、doorway だと戸口そのものに寄りやすい。人が出入りする場面を思い浮かべて、a narrow entranceway, stand in the entranceway のような形で覚えると定着しやすい。
Break it into entrance + way: a way or space for entering. That makes it feel wider than just a door, more like the area around the entrance. Compare it with doorway, which is closer to the door itself, and entryway, which is very similar.
例文
