Entertain Etymology:
entertain (v.)
late 15c., "to keep up, maintain, to keep (someone) in a certain frame of mind," from Middle French entretenir, from Old French entretenir "hold together, stick together, support" (12c.), from entre- "among" (from Latin inter; see inter-) + tenir "to hold" (from Latin tenere; see tenet).

Sense of "have a guest" is late 15c.; that of "gratify, amuse" is 1620s. Meaning "to allow (something) to consideration, take into the mind" (of opinions, notions, etc.) is 1610s. Related: Entertained; entertaining.

To be entertained is to literally have your mind in containment or captivity.

The message of the scriptures says to be renewed daily in your thinking. JESUS is the freedom of the mind.

Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elemental forces of the world, and not based on Christ. Colossians 2:8
 
You are aware that if you pull word apart all day and forget to reference them with the actual coloquel definitions, you can find any revelation you want right?

That's why I don't use the "coloquel[sic]" (Colloquial means informal or slangy), but rather the actual definition and etymology.

Still doesn't change that modern words do not necessarily mean what their roots mean.
