Entertaiment is any activity or event that provides enjoyment or amusement. It can take many forms, from watching movies to playing games. Entertainment is designed to amuse, relax, or divert people from their daily routines and problems, and may also provide an outlet for social interaction. It can also be an opportunity to learn or achieve insights. Entertaiment can be controversial, and what may appear as entertainment to one person may be considered offensive or below human dignity to another. It is important to be aware of these distinctions. The word “entertainment” derives from the Medieval Latin intertenere, which means to hold inside.
