Zugang

access

noun TSOO-gang Less Common

entrance

Usage Note

Zugang is built from zu ('to') + Gang ('way') and usually appears with zu + dative: Zugang zum Internet ('access to the internet'). It also names a physical entryway, so context decides between abstract 'access' and a concrete passage.
