What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment is a broad term for a wide range of activities that provide enjoyment and are sometimes used to stimulate learning. It is a complex and powerful force that can bring joy, encourage learning, or even have negative effects if not properly regulated. It is also a form of creative expression that can transform into other forms, such as art, architecture, or literature. Entertaiment can range from a single person selecting a private entertainment from the vast array of pre-recorded products available; to a feast for two; to a performance designed for thousands. The word itself derives from the Medieval Latin intertenere, a contraction of the root ten and its Indo-European equivalent tenere, meaning “to hold inside.”
