What is entertaining to one group or individual may be considered an act of cruelty or work to another. The word entertain comes from the Medieval Latin intertenere, a combination of the prefix inter meaning “inside” and the suffix ten, derived from the Indo-European root ten, meaning to stretch or hold.
