Entertaiment | Definition of Entertaining by Practical English Usage
movies, music, etc., used to amuse or divert people: The club offers live entertainment seven nights a week.
The word “entertainment” is related to the Middle English word intertenere, which comes from the Latin prefix inter meaning “inside,” and the suffix tenere, derived from the Indo-European root ten, which means “stretch.” That connection is appropriate, because entertainment is a form of art that can be stretched into various media with great versatility. But, as with all art, it must never cross the line into being mean-spirited or below human dignity.
