means The group of assistants, friends, and hangers-on who travel with and attend to someone important.

from Borrowed directly from French entourage, meaning 'surroundings' or 'that which encircles,' from the verb entourer, 'to surround' — built from en- ('in') and tour ('a turn, a circuit'), the same tour you'd find in 'turn around.' So at its root, an entourage is simply the people who have turned themselves around you, forming a human ring. English picked up the word pretty much whole in the 1800s, borrowing the French sense of a courtier's surrounding retinue before it drifted toward its modern, slightly more eye-rolling celebrity-adjacent meaning.
