娱乐 (yú lè) — (noun) entertainment, recreation, amusement; (verb) to entertain, to amuse
Definition
娱乐 covers both the activity itself ('to entertain / amuse') and the general category of fun and recreation. Compared to 兴趣 (a personal interest or hobby), 娱乐 is broader — any leisure activity, not just a chosen pursuit.
