Entertaiment is the broad spectrum of cultural products and experiences that keep people amused, engaged and diverted in our societies. It can be as simple as the personal choice of a movie or TV show from an immense array of pre-recorded options; as elaborate as a banquet for two with music and dance; as communal as a religious festival or satire; and as global as a concert for thousands. The word entertainment has evolved from the medieval Latin inter tenere, which combines the prefix meaning “inside” with the suffix -ment. Click on a collocation below to learn more about it.
