What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment

The term entertainment covers a wide range of activities, from the enjoyment of private entertainment products that may be available to any individual with access to a variety of different media, to the staging of events for thousands. It has become synonymous with amusement, but entertainment can have a serious purpose, as in ceremony, religious festival, and even satire.

The word comes from the Medieval Latin intertenere, a compound of the prefix inter meaning “inside” and the suffix tenere, derived from the Indo-European root ten. It originally meant to hold inside. It has come to signify a special pleasure or excitement that takes you to another world and makes you wish the moment will last forever.
