Definition
Noun: 1. An entrance or opening in a wall for entering or leaving a room or building; a doorway. - This term specifically refers to the architectural opening itself, not the door that may fill it. It is the space that a door is designed to close.
Usage
- Room access is a formal or technical term. In everyday conversation, words like "doorway" or "entrance" are more common.

Examples

Advanced Usage
