What is Entertaiment?

Article

Entertaiment is an experience that provides pleasure or amusement. It can be experienced in many forms such as a film, television show, or game, or in a restaurant, performance, or banquet. While it often involves the creation of aesthetic effect, it can also involve the arousal of emotion, insight, or intellectual growth. It can be as simple as a private amusement involving a book, movie, or video game; to a wedding, religious festival, or satire that entertains thousands of people. The word derives from the Latin inter tenere, which means to hold inside, and the Indo-European root ten, meaning to stretch or stretch.
