Entertaiment

The meaning of the word entertainment is multifaceted. It can mean a form of amusement or diversion, and it can also be a way to achieve psychological or intellectual growth. Many familiar forms of entertainment have the ability to cross over multiple media, demonstrating the seemingly endless potential for creative remix and renewal. The word comes from the Latin intertenere, which translates to “hold inside.” The prefix inter means “inside” and the suffix -ten, derived from the Indo-European root ten, means “stretch.”

Many forms of entertainment hit on themes that the human mind was evolved to react deeply to. Whether it’s murder, backstabbing or social hierarchy it stimulates the brain to realease seratonin and other chemicals.
