Enterprise enterprise
Answer:
RENTACAR
Hint:
Think of a short-term vehicle service often used by travelers or those needing temporary wheels—it’s a business built on mobility.
Explanation:
"Enterprise" here is a double-duty word. First, it hints at the Star Trek starship Enterprise, but the clue repeats it to suggest a business venture—specifically, a car rental company. The answer, "RENTACAR," plays on the idea of renting a car as an enterprise (business) while nodding to the Enterprise name, which is famously tied to the rental brand Enterprise Rent-A-Car. The repetition in the clue signals you’re looking for a phrase, not a single word.
