entourage 1832, "surroundings, environment," picked up by De Quincey from Fr. entourage, from M.Fr. entourer "to surround" (16c.), from O.Fr. entour "that which surrounds" (10c.), from en- "in" (see EN- (Cf. en-) (1)) + tour "a circuit" (see TOUR (Cf. tour)). Sense of "attendant persons" first recorded in English by 1860.
