Entertaiment is an ever-evolving category of activities whose scale can range from the individual choice of a private entertainment from a now vast array of pre-recorded options; to a banquet adapted to two; to a public performance designed for thousands; or even global audiences. Although it may be commonly associated with amusement, many entertainments have a serious purpose whether in the form of ceremonies, religious festivals or satire. The word entertainment derives from the Latin intertenere, meaning to hold inside. It has a similar etymology to the Indo-European root ten, meaning “stretch.”
