What Is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment is all about ecstatic pleasure which makes you forget your worldly problems and if you are lucky enough you might even wish that that moment never ends. It’s all about feeling the gratification which comes naturally to you, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone and is not below human dignity. The word “entertainment” came from the Medieval Latin intertenere, derived from the prefix inter meaning “inside” and the suffix tenere meaning to hold inside. Its Indo-European root is ten, which also means to stretch.
