Please access article in container (9)

I believe the answer is:

entertain

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'please' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'access article in container' is the wordplay.
'access' becomes 'enter' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'container' becomes 'tin' (tin is a kind of container).
'a' going within 'tin' is 'tain'.
'enter'+'tain'='ENTERTAIN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entertain that I've seen before include "Have a mind to - have a party" , "Show hospitality to; amuse" , "nurse" , "Create a diversion" , "Train teen to amuse" .)
