Entertaiment is a very broad category and can cover any form of entertainment such as a movie, video game or a live concert. The word itself derives from the Latin intertenere, which in turn comes from the Latin prefix inter meaning “inside” and the Latin suffix tenere, meaning to hold, implying a kind of maintenance or holding together.

It is important to note that entertainment can take many forms and can have a serious purpose, such as ceremonial ritual or religious festival, but it is commonly understood to be an amusement or playful activity. Click on a collocation to see more examples.
