Entertaiment is a word that describes any activity or event that provides amusement, recreation, diversion, pleasure or entertainment. It can be anything from a movie, TV show or concert to sports and games, social activities, or a party. It can be something simple, like a walk in the park or reading a book, or complex, such as a religious festival or political satire. The word comes from the Latin inter tenere, a contraction of the prefix in and the Latin tenere, or to hold inside. See more examples at the Practical English Usage website.
