Word Origin & Etymology
Entered English in the late 15th century from Anglo-French 'emprower' ('to turn to profit'), combining the prefix 'em-' ('into') and 'prow' ('profit'), which ultimately derives from Latin 'prodest' ('is of advantage'). Despite spelling similarity, it is etymologically unrelated to the verb 'prove'.
