While 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]

Ah so 'entrepreneur' literally translates to 'undertaker'.

[aalexgabi]

Entre means between. Preneur means taker.

[Armisael16]

That'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.
