Literally - plus , to take in hand, and the calque runs through half of Europe: entreprendre, unternehmen, undertake. It is transitive and takes either a noun object or an infinitive. The commercially important derivative is entrepreno, an enterprise or venture, and o, a contractor or entrepreneur. Do not use it for merely starting something - that is . carries the sense of taking on a project with its weight and risk attached, which is why journeys, campaigns and buildings suit it and having breakfast does not.
