Articles about Entertaiment

An entertaining thing is something that takes you to the next world in a euphoric state where you forget your problems and wish that this moment would never end. It can bring joy, stimulate learning, and provide insights about life and culture [1].

The word entertainment is derived from the Medieval Latin intertenere, which means “to hold inside.” It is related to the words for bowel and intestine through the root enteron and to the Indo-European root ten, meaning to stretch. Hence, what appears to be entertainment for one may be regarded as work or even cruelty by another. Entertainment has a remarkable capacity for cross-over between different media and is capable of providing enduring themes, images, and structures. Solving the daily crossword puzzle is also an entertainment for many people.
