ENTITLEMENT:
1a: the state or condition of being entitled
3: belief that one is deserving of or entitled to certain privileges.
Words sometimes have more than one meaning.
My 1991 copy of the Oxford English Dictionary doesn't have any definition resembling 3, nor does my Tenth Edition Webster's, so whatever source you must have checked must be quite recent.
Your dictionary is 20 years old.
It's officially "old" for a language that has evolved dramatically in the past few decades.
