"Entertainment" and "Sentiment" are good doublers too.

Really thought "Genteel" was spelt "Gentile" like in French. Would "Gentlemanly" also fit here?

These are fun and also very tricky.

Thanks. I’ll make a note of the two double occurrences for a future quiz.

“Genteel” is an etymological descendant of the French gentil. “Gentile” means something quite different in English, and has a different etymology.

Yes, “gentlemanly” works. I have added it as a type-in.
