entourage
[ENTOURAGE]
英 ['ɒnturɑːʒ] 美 ['ɑːnturɑːʒ]
n.随行人员；周围的事物
◉词源
Entourage 源自法语，直接借入英语（unadapted borrowing）。它源于法语动词 entourer（“包围、环绕”），进一步追溯至古法语 entour（“周围的事物、环境”）。 古法语 en-（“在……之内”） + tour（“转动、环绕、巡回”，源自拉丁语 tornare，意为“转动”，最终来自 PIE 词根 ter-/tor“转动、摩擦”）。 Entour 意为“周围、环境”，entourer 即“包围”。 法语 entourage 原指“周围环境或事物”，1830 年代左右进入英语，最初指“环境、 surroundings”，约 1860 年后发展出“随行人员、伴随群体”的现代含义。 前缀：en-（源自拉丁语 in-，“在……里面”）词根：tour（转动、环绕） 后缀：-age（法语/英语名词后缀，表示“动作、集合、状态或结果”）。

◉ Usage Notes
You know that group of people — friends, assistants, bodyguards — that are always surrounding you everywhere you go? That's your entourage!
"Entourage comes from the French word entourer, meaning “to surround,” and means ""the people who surround someone."" It's also pronounced like a French word, ending with the soft sound “razh” (not “rage”): ""ON-too-razh."" The size of a pop star's entourage might grow with every hit record she releases. You know you've really made it when your entourage won't fit in one limo."
