Entertaiment is a surprisingly versatile word. As a noun, it refers to the things that amuse or divert us, and as a verb, it describes how we engage with entertainment—whether we’re listening to music; watching movies; playing video games; attending concerts; enjoying fine food and drink; or going to a play or other performance. The evolution of this category of activity reflects the flexibility of our culture to adapt to ever-changing circumstances and interests.
