Connotations[?]

Given dragons’ limited experience with doorways, may be a much broader word that refers to any opening, metaphorically an option or opportunity.

Etymology[?]

Related to miiraak ‘portal’ (and possibly to miin ‘eye’; compare window from Old Norse vind-auga ‘wind-eye’). Might also be connected to Ayleidoon mitta ‘enter’.
