Articles about Entertainment:
The word entertainment is derived from the Latin inter tenere, where the prefix inter means “inside,” and the suffix -entertain- refers to something that is held inside, such as a book or a movie. The meaning of entertainment has shifted over time, and today it encompasses any activity that provides a diversion or distraction in people’s leisure time. It can also include things that bring pleasure, amusement, or laughter. People may actively create entertainment, such as when they invent a game; or consume it passively, such as when they watch a show.
