What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment is a broad term that encompasses many forms of art and entertainment.

Definition:

From the Late Latin intertenere, to hold inside, from the prefix inter- “among” + tenere “to stretch,” from the Indo-European root ten-, “to hold.” A common suffix added to verb stems (beginning-e-ment, better-e-ment, merriment) to form nouns expressing the result of the action of the verb or its effect on the subject or object of the verb.

Entertainment is an essential component of human well-being. It provides a number of important psychological functions, including relaxation, escape, delay, and catharsis.
