Some people live in huts or other types of human dwellings that don’t have entry doors. They have doorways.
When I was visiting the Philippines I saw homes on stilts that did not actually have doors, but I would certainly consider the inside of such a structure to be indoors. Pre-colonial architecture may not use a front door.
I recognize this isn’t a great argument, but it’s arguable I think in principle.
If you don’t go in a door you’re not indoors.
You are consistent! I admire this.
Pedantically speaking, I have never been in a door. I've opened doors and passed beyond the portal they were blocking, but I have never phased into or been sealed inside of a door. :p
Tbf the root of door dates to when it was most likely the hole in the hut you walked in through
Door don’t have roots, you’re thinking of a tree or maybe shrubbery.
Shrubbery! I heard some lot galloping by with coconuts looking for a shrubbery!
Ni! Ni!
