intake

What comes in

Intake is what is taken in, or the act of taking in.

A nutritionist monitors your caloric intake.

An engine's air intake is where air enters.

The word also names a point of entry—the intake for a water system, or a hospital's intake desk where new patients are processed.

The program limits intake to twenty students per year.
