Entertaiment
An activity that is intended to occupy or amuse people. The word derives from the medieval Latin intertenere, meaning “to hold inside.” Its Indo-European root is ten, which means to stretch. This suggests that entertainment stretches the mind and senses, in the same way that it does to the body.
The emergence of new forms of entertainment demonstrate the endless potential of human creativity. Entertainment has the ability to reappear in a wide range of media and remain popular with audiences for long periods of time. This longevity demonstrates the deep emotional impact that entertainers can have on their audience.
