What is Entertaiment?
Article
Entertaiment is anything that holds a person’s attention and interest, gives pleasure or delight. It can be a thing, an idea or an activity. It also includes anything that can be consumed. Bates and Ferri (2010) define entertainment as a consumer activity that is understood objectively, communicates between text and audience from external stimulus, offers pleasure, requires an audience and occurs in passive form. The word entertainment derives from the Latin intertenere, which means to hold inside. It is also related to the Indo-European root ten, meaning to stretch out.
