Entertaiment is a wide and varied field, but there are some basic principles that apply. For example, a theme that has proven successful in one medium has an infinite potential for remix in other media.
The word entertainment derives from the Medieval Latin intertenere, which combines the prefix inter- meaning “inside” and the suffix tenere, from the Indo-European root tense, which means to hold or stretch. Interestingly, TEN is also an abbreviation for Transformational Entertainment News.
