The word entertaiment (pronounced ten-tee-ment) is a compound of the Medieval Latin inter- and tenere, which means to hold inside. The prefix inter implies “inside,” and the suffix tenere suggests holding something tight or stretching it out.
Entertainment is any activity that provides pleasure, recreation, or diversion. It can take the form of watching movies, attending concerts, playing games, solving crossword puzzles, social gatherings, or other activities. It may serve to divert or occupy people from the discomforts of daily life, or simply to amuse or delight them.
What is considered entertainment for one person may not be enjoyable for another.
