It includes theatrical entertainment such as shows, visual entertainment like paintings and sculptures, and audio entertainment such as music and podcasts. Whether it is a clown at a birthday party, the Broadway show or your friends fighting over the last potato chip, entertainment is all around us. The word entertainment derives from the Latin inter tenere, meaning to hold inside. It is associated with hospitality and keeping guests happy. Click on a collocation to see more examples.
