A clown at a birthday party, Broadway show, stadium rock concert, or friends fighting over the last potato chip: all are entertainment. The word originated in the Old French entretenir, which means “to hold together.” It was associated with hospitality, and later with amusement or distraction. Today, we use the word on any scale: a small personal entertainment device; a dinner adapted for two; a party of any size; or a massive global performance.
