What Is Entertaiment?

Article

Whether it’s a clown at a kid’s party, a Broadway show or the stadium rock concert your friends fight over the last potato chip, entertainment is amusement in the form of a performance. The word entertainment derives from the French word entretenir, which originally referred to hospitable provision for guests, and it is still associated with hospitality today. Entertainment can also take the form of agreeable occupation for the mind, such as solving a crossword puzzle or reading a book. It’s sometimes abbreviated to entmt. on a flier or in industry news publications, but you should avoid using this abbreviation in general prose.
