Batch of new recruits from Coventry? (5)

I believe the answer is:

entry

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

'batch of new recruits' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'coventry?' is the wordplay.
'ENTRY' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entry that I've seen before include "Access point" , "Debut" , "One in competition" , "candidate" , "Admission" .)
