中文词源
undertake 承担
词源理解存争议。under-, 来自inter-变体，在里面，词源同interact, understand, take, 带走，承担。即承担起来的。
英文词源
- undertake (v.)
- c. 1200, "to entrap;" c. 1300, "to set about (to do)," from under + take (v.). Similar formation in French entreprendre "to undertake," from entre "between, among" + prendre "to take." The under in this word may be the same one that also may form the first element of understand. Old English had underniman "to trap, accept" (cognate with Dutch ondernemen, German unternehmen).
