Entertaiment
Whether it’s a clown at a child’s birthday party, a Broadway show, a stadium rock concert, or your friends fighting over the last potato chip, entertainment is something that holds our attention and gives pleasure and delight. It’s also something that can distract us from the realities of life. It’s no wonder that the word comes from the French entretenir, meaning to hold together or support.
