Entertaiment is a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience, and gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or task, but it is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for this purpose. It may be an activity that requires a lot of labor, or it may be something that is easy to produce or acquire. The word entertainment is derived from the Medieval Latin intertenere, which means to hold inside. It is also derived from the Indo-European root ten, which means to stretch or extend.
