Etymology
Είσοδος joins the prefix εισ- (from εἰς, "into") with the noun οδός ("way, road, path"). Together they mean literally "the way in". The word already carried this sense in Ancient Greek and has kept it unchanged into Modern Greek, where it covers both a physical doorway and abstract entry, such as into a market or a state.
