Just for grins and those who are concept thinkers, the word is from an ancient term for the doorway strip that was used to keep the thresh in the house. Thresh was the shag carpet of the old world. When grain is removed from the material it grows on the leftovers are called thresh. The place it was separated was the threshing floor. Anyway, the height of the threshold needed to be high enough to keep in the thresh and low enough to keep from tripping the people entering through the door. We still use thresholds in modern housing, I think more from custom that function. It may keep out water, but a good door strip will cut drafts, dirt and bugs just fine.
Thinking about the function of thresholding might be helpful when we are setting our MDs. Just a thought that occured to me as I was reading Steve's excellent instructions to Dani on G2 setup. Thanks, Steve for a keeper of helps and thanks Dani for a great question!
