I think that is not only incorrect considering the content but probably also the semantics involved. There are many German words that have "Unter" in them ("Unternehmen" --> Company; "Untersuchung" --> study) where it does not relate to the word "unten" in any way.

In fact it seems to be related to the "among" meaning of "unter". The etymology is similar for other languages: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=entertain http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=entertain
