1. enter- (inter-) + -tain + -ment.2. => keep or hold someone's mind among many different and interesting things.=> keep or hold something like amusing or treat between / among people.=> keep or hold something attractive or interesting among / in one's mind.3. 所谓花花世界、五彩缤纷、其乐无穷,由此引申义:娱乐,助兴。4. 类推:The original Old French version of enterprise was emprise.5. => The original Old French version of entertain was *emtenir(*emtain).6. 因此这里的enter-前缀应该说还含有“in”的含义,这还可以从单词enter及该前缀的源头可以看出来。7. enter- "in" => hold or keep one's mind in something, hold (in), keep (in), maintain (in).

Asian (n.)late 14c., "inhabitant of Asia (Minor)," from Latin Asianus (adjective and noun, "belonging to the province of Asia;" "an inhabitant of Asia"), from Greek Asianos, from Asia (see Asia). Ousted Asiatic as the preferred term in Britain c. 1950. The term "Asiatic" has come to be regarded with disfavour by those to whom it is applied, and they feel entitled to be brought into line with usage in regard to Europeans, Americans and Australians. ["Times Literary Supplement," Feb. 6, 1953] As an adjective in English, by 1690s."
