Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the combination of the Middle English 'rere' (meaning back, from Old French and Latin 'retro') and 'door' (from Old English 'dor'). Originally used in architecture and transport to indicate the opening situated at the rear, the term has since expanded metaphorically in computing and business to denote unauthorized or unconventional access methods.
