Entertaiment
Something affording pleasure, diversion, or amusement: A funny film is entertaining. A ball is an elaborate entertainment. Solving a crossword is an entertainment for many people. The word entertain is related to the Latin intertenere and Indo-European root ten, which both mean “to hold inside.”
Entertainment is not a one-size-fits-all concept; it is a multifaceted universe that satisfies many different interests and moods. For example, children may find amusement in cartoons and playgrounds while adults might enjoy a comedy show or a sophisticated drama. Some people place a higher value on how thought-provoking or educational a form of entertainment is, while others favor the way in which it evokes an emotional response such as happiness or suspense.
