In Magic The Gathering, 'when enters the battlefield' refers to a trigger that happens as soon as a creature or another type of card comes into play, straight from the hand or any other zone. It's like throwing a welcome party for your card, where the 'party favors' are special abilities or effects that activate the moment your card hits the table. These can range from gaining life points, dealing damage, drawing cards, or any number of other game-changing effects.

It's just a fancy way of saying something happens when you play a card. Like, drop a creature on the board and boom, instant magic happens sometimes. Could be good, could be bad, depends on the card.
