◾️ ENTERTAINMENT: Today, the word “Entertainment” is understood to mean ‘providing amusement,’ but its roots suggest a sense of "holding" one's attention or "keeping" them in a certain state.

‘Entertainment’ comes from the Old French "entretenir," meaning "to hold together" or "to maintain".

This evolved from the Latin inter ("between, among") and tenere ("to hold"), and originally referred to hospitality or keeping a guest happy.
