Egress

“Egress” (EE-gres) – from the Latin for “to go out” – is a fancy way of saying “exit.”

Example (as used by Laurie A. O’Neill in The New York Times): “In order to keep the crowds moving through the exhibits in his traveling show… Mr. [P.T.] Barnum posted signs that read: ‘This Way to the Egress.’ Eager to view this presumably strange and exotic exhibit, the throngs would push through the door labeled ‘Egress’ – and find themselves in the street.”
