The word "entered" originated from the Old English word "enterian", which was derived from the Latin word "intare". "Intare" was a combination of "in" (meaning "into") and "tara" (meaning "to cross or pass through"). Over time, "enterian" evolved into "enteren" in Middle English, and eventually, it transformed into "entered" in Modern English. The term generally refers to moving or gaining access into a place, or recording or adding information into a document or system.
