Entertaiment is anything that aims to provide enjoyment or amusement. Entertainment can take many forms, including art, sports, games, recreation, social gatherings and events, music, or reading. It is designed to remove people from their everyday lives and mundane realities. It can range in size and scope, from a personal choice of pre-recorded entertainment for an individual; to a banquet adapted to two; to performances intended for thousands.
The word entertain derives from the Latin intertenere, whose prefix inter means “inside” and its suffix tenere mean “to hold or grasp inside.” To entertain an idea is to float it with others in the mind as part of real experience.
