What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment is a multifaceted activity that can take any form, from the private entertainment of a couple choosing from the now enormous array of pre-recorded products; to a meal accompanied by music and dance; to festivals, ceremonies, religious celebrations, or satire that are intended for thousands of people. Its significance is that it reflects human experience and is constantly evolving. It can also have serious underpinnings, such as in education, moral guidance or the achievement of insight and intellectual growth. The word comes from the Medieval Latin intertenere, derived from the root ten, meaning to hold inside, or retain within.
