Morphology

entry = enter (transparent) = enter + y

The meaning is directly derived from 'enter' with the suffix '-y' indicating a noun form.

Etymology

Entry once meant 'a way in' and is the same root as enter and entrance, so it names a door or opening. That's why a guard checks the entry — it is the place you use to go into a building.
