Definition
An alternative spelling of emprise; a bold or adventurous undertaking.
Etymology
Variant spelling of emprise from the same Old French source emprise, reflecting the inconsistent spelling conventions of Middle and Early Modern English where -ise and -ize endings were used interchangeably.
Kelly Says
Medieval and Renaissance writers spelled words however they wanted—emprize and emprise were both acceptable, even in the same document! This word shows how modern standardized spelling is actually quite new in the grand scheme of English history.
