doors
A movable barrier or panel used to close or cover an entrance, primarily referring to the door of a dwelling or room, but also used for gates or coverings of other openings (e.g., temple, city gates, or metaphorically for something that encloses or protects). The term delineates both literal doors made of wood or other materials and, rarely, figurative 'doors' representing opportunity, access, or restriction.
