That's literally the etymology of the word "entrepreneur", if you go back to the latin roots it's basically "go between and take"

[zdkl]

While I'm sure you're right about the root of the word, this notion of entrepreneur itself comes from the french verb "entreprendre", which means something similar to undertake or enter a task/business.

[BenoitEssiambre]

Ah so 'entrepreneur' literally translates to 'undertaker'.
