Entertaiment is a broad category of entertainment, and can be found in many different forms. It is often able to cross over different media, which has ensured the longevity of many themes and images.
Entertaiment has its roots in the medieval Latin word intertenere, which means to hold inside. It also has connections to the Greek word enteron, which means intestines or bowels. The prefix inter means “inside” and the suffix ten, which means stretch or extend, suggests that entertainment must have the ability to change and adapt in order to survive.
