About this Article
The examples on this page have been selected programmatically from corpora and other sources on the web and reflect current usage of the word ‘Entertaiment.’ They do not represent the opinions of Merriam-Webster or its editors.
The word entertainment has evolved to take on a broader range of meanings than simply amusement and delight. It can now encompass anything from a private viewing of pre-recorded media; to a dinner party accompanied by appropriate music and dance; to a festival, banquet, or performance intended for thousands. Entertainment also has the capacity to cross over different media, resulting in the evolution of familiar themes, images, and structures that transcend time and culture.
