965 B

threshold, thresholds

Definition:

The term "threshold" refers to the bottom part of a doorway or the part of a building that is just inside the door.

  • Sometimes a threshold is a strip of wood or stone that must be stepped over in order to enter a room or building.
  • Both a gate and the opening to a tent can also have a threshold.
  • This term should be translated with a term in the project language that refers to the place at the very entrance to a home that a person steps across.
  • If there is no term for this, "threshold" could also be translated as "doorway" or "opening" or "entranceway," depending on the context.

(See also: gate, tent)
