entourage

An entourage is the moving ring of people who do everything around someone important. The word is French, from entourer, to surround, and it still carries a smell of celebrity: pop stars, boxers, ministers. It is never just friends: friends walk beside you; an entourage moves around you. Use it as a joke too, for a toddler with an entourage of grandparents. In the animation, one man walks with his hands in his pockets while four men do everything for him.
