'exit?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'possible getaway' is the wordplay.
'getaway' can be anagrammed to 'GATEWAY'.
However, I'm not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gateway that I've seen before include "Connection between two networks" , "access to computer network" , "Means of access" , "Getaway (anag.)" , "Yet a wag, strangely, could provide an entrance" .)
