What does Backstair really mean?

Alright, so the word "backstair" is not a very common word, so don't worry if you haven't heard it before. It's kind of like a secret or hidden way of doing something, like a sneaky or sly way.

Imagine you have a big, fancy house with a lot of grand staircases in the front that everyone can see. But then, there's this other staircase hidden in the back of the house that only a few people know about. That's like a "backstair" - it's not the most obvious or official way of doing something, but it's still there and it still works.

So, when you hear the word "backstair," you can think about doing something in a way that's not out in the open or not the usual way. Maybe it's a little secret or just a different way of doing things.

I hope that makes sense! Don't be afraid to ask me if you have any more questions about this word.
