Entertaiment can be anything that brings enjoyment, happiness or amusement to people. It is generally thought to be something light or frivolous, but it can also have a serious purpose, such as a ceremony, religious festival, or satire. The word has evolved over time, and can be used in a wide variety of ways, from a single individual choosing a piece of pre-recorded entertainment for personal amusement, to an entire industry serving thousands of people at a concert or sporting event.
The word is related to the Latin intertenere, which means “to hold inside,” and in medieval English it was spelled entretenement, with an Indo-European root ten. It is also a homonym for intestine.
