A postern is a small back gate or side entrance, often tucked away from the main path. Medieval castles used posterns for discreet arrivals and escapes, giving the word an air of secrecy and strategy. Even today, it sounds like the entrance to some hidden place.
Example: The queen's supporters snuck her through an unguarded postern into the nearby forest.
