Entertaiment is the act of providing amusement or enjoyment. In its broadest sense entertainment can include activities as diverse as sports, music, films, literature, or food. Entertainment can be a positive force, generating joy and stimulating learning. But it can also have negative impacts if not properly regulated. The word comes from the medieval Latin inter tenere, which means “to hold inside.” The prefix “inter” suggests that it has to do with inner space, and the suffix “tenere” derives from the Indo-European root ten, meaning to stretch or extend.
