STRONGS G2021:

ἐπιχειρέω, -ῶ: imperfect ἐπεχείρουν; 1 aorist ἐπεχείρησα; (χείρ);
1. properly, to put the hand to (Homer, Odyssey 24, 386, 395).
2. often from Herodotus down, to take in hand, undertake, attempt (anything to be done), followed by the infinitive: Luke 1:1; Acts 9:29; Acts 19:13; (2 Macc. 2:29; 2 Macc. 7:19). Grimm treats of this word more at length in the Jahrbb. f. deutsche Theol. for 1871, p. 36f.
