Entertaiment is a broad concept that can encompass different aspects of human culture and activity. From the theater and dance to music concerts and comedy shows, entertainment is a powerful force that can bring joy and stimulate learning, but it can also have negative consequences if not carefully managed. The word entertain derives from the Medieval Latin intertenere, a compound of the prefix “inside” and the Latin suffix tenere (to hold). This reflects the way in which entertainment often has a tenacious grip on various media and can be transformed into new forms. [1] Article by: Jeremy C. Li, Ph.D.
