Entertaiment is an experience that is genuinely enjoyable, uplifting or stimulating. It may involve physical activity such as dancing or sport but it also encompasses such activities as reading, playing with children and enjoying movies, TV programmes and films. Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to suit any occasion or audience from an individual who chooses private entertainment on his/her own, to a banquet for two or to performances for a global television audience. The etymology of the word is instructive: enter, entice and entertain are all Latin words that suggest a mental experience.
