About
Entertaiment is an ever-evolving category that includes everything from a personal choice of entertainment at home from a wide array of products, to a dinner adapted for two; from the various forms of ceremony, celebration, or religious festival to performances intended for thousands and even for a global audience. Although commonly understood to mean fun and laughter, entertainment may also have a serious purpose—such as the political or social commentary found in certain forms of satire or propaganda. The word itself is derived from the Medieval Latin intertenere, which itself is a contraction of tenere, an Indo-European root that means “stretch.”
