Note
A plural that only works where the noun can be counted. Entertainment is both countable and uncountable. In the general sense of amusement it takes no plural, so entertainments points to separate events: shows, games, nightly performances. The word once also meant hospitality, the provision of food to guests, a use now obsolete. That old sense still echoes in phrases like lavish entertainments in a great hall.
