the.com/garage door

means A large hinged or sliding panel that seals off a garage opening, usually lifted by a spring-loaded or motorized track system.

from "Garage" came into English from French in the early 20th century, from "garer" meaning to shelter or dock (as a boat docks). "Door" is ancient, from Old English "duru," tracing back to a very old Indo-European root for door or gate. The compound itself is as old as the attached garage: once cars became household items in the 1900s, the door built to swallow one whole followed right behind, eventually gaining springs, tracks, and — much later — the button that changed everything.
