Here are some info. about Word Entrepreneur for your ref.

Quoted

The Origin & Meaning of the Word Entrepreneur:

“The word entrepreneur comes from the 13th century French verb

entreprendre, meaning “to do something” or “to undertake.” By the 16th

century, the noun entrepreneur, had emerged to refer to someone who

undertakes a business venture. The first academic usage of the term

was by economist Richard Cantillon in 1730. For Cantillion, the

bearing of risk – engaging in business without an assurance of the

profits that will be derived – is the distinguishing feature of an

entrepreneur.

The term entrepreneur was further popularized by economist Jean

Baptiste Say, who in the early 1800s, used the term to refer to

individuals who create value in an economy by moving resources out of

areas of low productivity and into areas of higher productivity and

greater yield. In 1848, economist John Stuart Mill used the term in

his very popular book, Principles of Political Economy. To Mill, the

distinguishing feature of an entrepreneur was that they assume both

the risk and the management of a business.”
