Entertaiment is something that takes you to the next world in a euphoric state where you forget about your problems and wish that it never ends. It is usually done with music or some other form of art.

The story of Scheherazade, from the Persian professional storytelling tradition, is one example of a tale that has been entertained in several media: it inspired composers to create orchestral works; directors have made films of it; and innovative video games have been created based on it. You might see the word entertaiment abbreviated to entmt on a flier or in industry news publications where space is limited.
