In fact, what is the French word for entrepreneurship?

Jocelyne- thank you, and yes I know entrepreneur is a french word; that is why I used it as an example. I heard that our dear President said that "the French don't even have a word for entrepreneurship", and that made me wonder if in fact they don't. And I bet HE doesn't know it is a French word.

Your dear president is wrong. The translation of entrepreneurship is "Entrepreneuriat".
Some of the words with the suffix "-ship" ends with "é" but it is not always the case like for "entrepreneurship". For exemple "friendship" is tranlated "amitié" ... "scolarship" is "scolarité"... "fellowship" is tranlated "camaderie" ... The suffix "ship" doesn't have an unique equivalent in french.

There is no French equivalent for the suffix "ship". Entrepreneurship translated to French is esprit d'entreprise. Entrepreneur is actually a French word.
