Morphology
portal = port + al
The computing sense is a straightforward metaphorical extension of 'entrance/entry' (portal as an entry point), so learners who know the basic sense can readily infer this usage.
Etymology
Portal comes from the Latin word porta, which means 'gate'. A web portal is a 'gate' or entrance to many other sites and services, so it is used as a main entry point to the internet.
