Entertaiment

From Shakespeare’s era to ours, entertainment has been defined by the enjoyment of events, including the arts and leisure activities. The word originates from the Medieval Latin intertenere, derived from the root ten, meaning “to hold inside.” Entertainment is also about creating something that holds one’s interest. It can take any form, from an individual’s choice of private entertainment to a banquet for two; from performances intended for a few thousand people to those designed to be broadcast to the world.
