Etymology
'entertainment-oriented' originates from the combination of 'entertainment' and the suffix '-oriented', where 'entertainment' comes from the Old French 'entretenir', meaning 'to hold together', and '-oriented' is derived from the Latin 'orientare', meaning 'to arrange or align'.
'entertainment' evolved from the Old French 'entretenir' and '-oriented' from Latin 'orientare', eventually forming the modern English term 'entertainment-oriented'.
Initially, 'entertainment' meant 'to hold together or support', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'amusement or enjoyment'.
