'friendly' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'pleasant caught entering' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'caught' could be 'c' (cricket abbreviation) and 'c' is located in the answer.

This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' acts as a link.
