empresa
/emˈpɾesa/ · A2 · noun · f
company
🏢 empresa = enterprise: same root, em- + prender (to take on)
From emprender, to undertake, just as English enterprise comes from French entreprendre. An empresa is something taken on: first a task or venture, then the company formed to carry it out. Swap em- for enter- and -presa for -prise.
