Entertaiment is the act of amusing or entertaining, such as a clown at a birthday party, a Broadway show or a stadium rock concert. Entertaining is a fun way to spend time with friends and family, and it can also help you grow closer to them as you share the experience together.
The word entertainment comes from the Old French entretenir, which means to hold together or support. It was first used as a synonym of hospitality, and eventually came to mean amusement or distraction.
