Yes, the prefix in "entertain" is "en-." In this case, "en-" means "to cause (a person or group) to experience a particular feeling or state." The root Word "entertain" comes from the Latin Word "tenere," meaning "to hold," and the prefix "en-" adds the meaning of "to hold in a certain state of attention or enjoyment."
