Enterprise
Iconic naval carrier
Enterprise is a project or undertaking, especially one requiring boldness or initiative: a risky enterprise, free enterprise.
The word carries connotations of ambition and organized effort—business enterprises, entrepreneurial enterprises.
Enterprise also names the quality itself: someone shows enterprise by taking initiative.
In business contexts, enterprise often modifies terms to indicate large-scale operations: enterprise software, enterprise solutions.
