ingress

Noun
pl: ingresses

This term carries a formal, technical, or legal tone, often appearing in architectural specifications, legal documents, or astronomical texts. It focuses on the point of entry or the permission to enter, rather than the physical act of walking through a door. In a technical or legal sense, it is frequently paired with egress to describe the complete flow of movement into and out of a property or structure. While an entrance is a physical object, ingress refers more broadly to the access or the right of entry.
