- zdkl 9y agoWhile I'm sure you're right about the root of the word, this notion of entrepreneur itself comes from the french verb "entreprendre", which means something similar to undertake or enter a task/business.
- BenoitEssiambre 9y agoAh so 'entrepreneur' literally translates to 'undertaker'.
- aalexgabi 9y agoEntre means between. Preneur means taker.
- Armisael16 9y agoThat's true, but also irrelevant. That isn't the etymology of the word - it's a loanword from french, coined by French economist Jean-Baptiste Say.
