The word 'entrance-linked' is a modern compound formed from 'entrance' and 'linked.' 'Entrance' comes from Old French 'entrer' (to enter), and 'linked' is the past participle of 'link,' from Old Norse 'hlenca' (to link, connect).
'Entrance' and 'linked' were combined in modern English to form the compound adjective 'entrance-linked.'
Initially, the parts meant 'related to an entrance' and 'connected,' and together they now mean 'connected or related to an entrance.'
