ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Detailed explanation-1: -Entrepreneur is a French word probably coined by the economist Jean-Baptiste Say from the word entreprendre, which is usually translated as “undertaker” or “adventurer."1 Say studied Smith’s book and, while agreeing on all points, found that the omission of enterprising businessmen was a serious flaw.

Detailed explanation-2: -The word entrepreneur actually originates from the 13th century French word ‘entreprendre’ which means to undertake or to do something.

Detailed explanation-3: -The word “entrepreneur” originates from a thirteenth-century French verb, entreprendre, meaning “to do something” or “to undertake.” By the sixteenth century, the noun form, entrepreneur, was being used to refer to someone who undertakes a business venture.

Detailed explanation-4: -This word (which also had the more general meaning of “one who undertakes a task”) is based on the French word entreprendre, “to undertake.” In intrapreneur, the first part of the word is replaced with the prefix intra–, meaning “within.” So, an intrapreneur is an entrepreneur within a company.
