The word entertaiment is used to describe a range of activities that may include anything from solving the daily crossword puzzle to attending an elaborate ball. It also can refer to more serious endeavors such as ceremony, celebration, religious festival, or satire. Entertainment can take many forms and is adapted to fit any scale, from an individual selecting a private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products, to a banquet adapted for two people, to performances for thousands. Entertainment also has a tendency to cross over into other media, such as literature, film, or music. See also amusement, fun, leisure, and recreation.
