Origin

Late Middle English emprowement (in the sense 'profitable management or use; profit'), from Anglo-Norman French, from emprower (see improve).

The early spelling was emprowement used to mean ‘profitable management, profit’. It derives from Anglo-Norman French, based on Old French prou ‘profit’, ultimately from Latin prodest ‘is of advantage’.
