Entertaiment means that moment in your life which makes you forget all your worries, gives you immense pleasure, and you wish it never ends, just lasts forever.

The word comes from the Middle French entretenement, and is related to the Latin inter tenere. It has the prefix inter, meaning “inside,” and the suffix -tenere, from the Indo-European root ten, which meant to stretch or elongate something.

It is a familiar form with great capacity for creative remix, and a seemingly unlimited potential for crossing over different media. However, what might be entertainment for one group or individual may not be entertaining to another.
