Entertaiment is any activity or event that provides recreation or amusement to people. This includes activities like watching movies, attending concerts, social gatherings and engaging in recreational sports and games. It also includes anything that can be considered fun and relaxing, such as reading books or playing video games. The word entertainment comes from the Medieval Latin intertenere, which is a compound of the prefix inter meaning “inside” and the suffix tenere, derived from the Indo-European root ten, indicating holding or stretching something.
