What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment is any activity that gives pleasure, provides diversion or distraction from daily activities, or enables people to relax. It may be in the form of games, sports, art, music, dance, drama, film or television. It can be both voluntary and involuntary. It can be pleasurable or painful, depending on the situation and audience, as for example, with sex entertainment which is usually considered to be pleasurable for both participants and viewers. It can also be a social activity, such as parties or ceremonies. The word etymologically comes from the Latin prefix inter-, meaning “inside,” and the suffix tenere, derived from the Indo-European root ten.
