Related to starting and running new business ventures; showing the qualities of an entrepreneur like risk-taking and innovation.
From French 'entrepreneur' (one who undertakes), from 'entreprendre' meaning to undertake or venture. Came into English in the 18th century during the industrial revolution.
The word 'entrepreneur' was mostly used for wealthy factory owners until the 1990s, when the internet boom made it cool for young people to be entrepreneurs from their garages. Now it's become so trendy that everyone's 'an entrepreneur' on social media, even if they're just selling stuff on Etsy.
