Answer 2

This lovely word has been borrowed from the French.
entre = between; among; in, into
preneur = taker, buyer

The feminine form is entrepreneuse, however we don't use that.

Here is what my dictionary says:

Pronunciation: "änn-tr&-p(r)&-'n&r, -'n(y)ur
Function: noun
Etymology: French, from Old French, from entreprendre to undertake —more at ENTERPRISE

- en·tre·pre·neur·ial /-'n(y)ur-E-&l, -'n&r-/ adjective
- en·tre·pre·neur·ial·ism /-E-&-li-z&m/ noun
- en·tre·pre·neur·ial·ly /-E-&-lE/ adverb
