Entertaiment is a popular word for all sorts of events that provide enjoyment, diversion, or amusement, including sports and games, movies, television, and concerts. It can also be applied to an activity that occupies the mind, as with a crossword puzzle or other intellectual exercise. Entertainment can be adapted to any size of audience, from the individual choosing a private entertainment from the enormous array of pre-recorded products, to an evening banquet, to an elaborate performance for thousands. In some cases, entertainment may have serious purposes—as in a ceremony, celebration, or religious festival, or in satire and other literary genres.
