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).

entertainment (n.)1530s, "provision for support of a retainer; manner of social behavior," now obsolete, along with other 16c. senses; from entertain + -ment.
