Entertaiment
Something affording pleasure, diversion, or amusement. Solving the daily crossword puzzle is a form of entertainment for many people.
The word derives from the Latin inter tenere, which means “to hold inside.” The prefix inter is used to indicate that the thing held inside is an entertainment: “an entertainment for the audience.”
The concept of entertainment can be applied on any scale: a single person choosing from a broad array of available entertainment products; a dinner party adapted to entertain guests of any size; or performances intended for large audiences. Entertainment can also serve a serious purpose, such as in ceremony, celebration, religious festival, or satire.
