Entertaiment

Something affording pleasure, diversion, or amusement, especially a performance. Solving the daily crossword puzzle is an entertainment for many people, as is watching a sports game or a theater production. Originally, this word was a more serious concept, referring to ceremonies, celebrations, or even religious festivals, but the experience of entertainment has since become highly individualized and reinterpreted in different media. As such, what might be considered entertainment for one person may be considered work or an act of cruelty by another, and vice versa.
