Morphology
entrainment = entrain (semi-transparent) = en + train + ment
Formed from 'entrain' + '-ment' and directly denotes the process of entraining, but 'entrain' is a technical verb and 'train' can mislead learners toward more common senses of 'train'.
Etymology
Entrainment comes from the French word entraîner, made of en- ('in') and train ('to pull'), so think of a train pulling cars along. So when movement or music show entrainment, things are 'pulled into' the same rhythm and timing.
