Can "to set upon" generally be used in a way similar to "to set out on"?
I'm finding a lot of hits for "set upon the task of..." or "set upon a journey" in particular, but can't grasp how these expressions took shape. Wonder if one's a deformation of the other?
Probably overthinking it?

Hmm you think
It depends what your definition of 'is' is.

I guess what I'd come to expect, when looking into it too much, would be a reflective/ "to set (oneself) upon". Was it perhaps originally so?
Shakespeare used everything to mean anything and people have treated him like a god ever since.
To set upon a journey means you're setting yourself on a journey. To set out on a journey means you're setting yourself outside for the journey ahead.
You're overthinking it. You typed it and stared at it too long. When this happens to me, I just restructure the thought completely into something I have full confidence in.
All right
Should books of poems and short stories be broken up or read like a novel?
