Opposite of ushered out

Answer:

LEDIN

Hint:

Think of how a guide might bring someone into a room with confidence.

Explanation:

"Opposite of ushered out" plays on the idea of guiding someone into a place instead of showing them out. "Ushered out" means to lead someone away, so the opposite would be to lead them in—hence "LED IN." The answer is written as "LEDIN" to fit crossword-style compactness, dropping the space for brevity.
