Entertainment is something that takes you to another world in a moment. You forget all your problems and wish that the moment doesn’t end, just lasts forever. It can be anything from a meal for two, to a show for thousands. It can be imaginary or real, it can be cultural or personal. It can be playful or serious, it can be high art or low culture, or even political and religious. But all entertainment has the power to transform.
From the medieval Latin intertenere, from intestine. The prefix inter means “inside,” and the suffix tenere, from the Indo-European root ten. It was a word used by the kings of France to describe their own pleasures.
