An usher for the door

John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. [kjv]

αμην αμην λεγω υμιν ο μη εισερχομενος δια της θυρας εις την αυλην των προβατων αλλα αναβαινων αλλαχοθεν εκεινος κλεπτης εστιν και ληστης [gnt]

… ostium … [v]

A Latin word for door is "ostium" ≈ "door". The Latin word "ostarius" for "doorman" became "ustaiarius" in common (vulgar) Latin. Then, through the old French "ussier" we get the Anglo-French "usser" and then the English word "usher" , the doorman who "guards" access to the sheep pen (pews of the sanctuary).

In the Roman calendar system, January eventually became is the first month of the year. January is named for the Roman god Janus or, in Latin, "ianvs" or "Ianus". The Roman God Janus has two faces, one looking back and one looking forward.
From the Latin word "ianua" for "door", the Latin word "ianitor" meant "porter" or "doorman" - the gatekeeper.

The Latin word "ianua" ≈ "door".
The Latin word "ianitor" ≈ "porter, doorman" from which we get the English word "janitor", originally one who controlled access via a "door".

The Latin word "Ianuarius" ≈ "January" is name for the "ianua" ≈ "door" since January is the door to the new year. This word appears many times in the Latin Vulgate.
