'bestow a knighthood on daughter' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'have a right' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'title' (title is a kind of right) and 'title' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'end' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entitled that I've seen before include "Authorized" , "permitted" , "with style" , "Gave a right to, or named a book" , "Named, called" .)
