Etymology
The word gatekeeper comes from two simple English parts: gate, meaning 'a door into a place', and keeper, meaning 'one who watches or looks after'. Think of someone standing at a gate deciding who may enter, and you'll see the modern meaning: a gatekeeper is a person or group that controls who can go in.
