The word "entrepreneuse" is a derivative of the French word "entrepreneur", which came from the Old French term "entreprendre". The origin of "entreprendre" can be traced back to the Latin word "interprendere", which combines the prefix "inter-" (meaning "between" or "among") and the verb "prendere" (meaning "to take" or "to seize"). In Middle French, "entreprendre" took on the meaning of "undertake", specifically referring to embarking on a business venture or initiative. Over time, the French term "entrepreneur" evolved to define someone who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business. The suffix "-euse" in "entrepreneuse" is added to denote the feminine form of the word, thereby referring specifically to a female entrepreneur.
