Entertaiment is a broad collection of activities, events, and experiences that entertain people. These activities include sports, recreation, arts and culture, news and current affairs, and other social events. Many activities that were once considered entertaining, such as cooking, have become necessary skills for people to live, while others, such as fencing or archery, have developed into serious sports and professions and are now broadcast for entertainment purposes. The word entertainment has a broad and varied history; it is derived from the medieval Latin intertenere, from the prefix inter, meaning “inside,” and the suffix tenere, derived from the Indo-European root ten.
