Oh interesting, I didn't know that. It's an even older name than I thought!

    ...although the French spell it with an extra "r". And they had more ships that were named Entreprenant(e) (Enterprising) than Entreprise...

      Indeed they did - all the way back to 1672: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ship_Entreprenant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ship_Entreprenant

      > .although the French spell it with an extra "r". We don't: enterprise entreprise It's not "entrerprise" (that'd be an additional 'r'). It's not totally unlike "center", which is "centre" in french and also "centre" in UK english (but pronounced "center", unless I'm mistaken).
