Definition
To go into a place or space. It can also mean to put information into a computer or system, or to join a competition or activity formally.
Usage & Nuances
Common patterns: 'enter a room', 'enter your password', 'enter a competition'. Slightly more formal than 'go in' for physical movement. In tech contexts, 'enter' often means type or input information. Do not confuse with 'join': you 'enter a competition' but usually 'join a club'.
