Definition take

Etymology

From Middle English taken (“to take, lay hold of, grasp, strike”), from Old English tacan (“to grasp, touch”), probably of North Germanic origin, from Old Norse taka (“to touch, take”), from Proto-Germanic *t?kan? (“to touch”), from Proto-Indo-European *deh?g-, *dh?g- (“to touch”). Gradually displaced Middle English nimen ("to take"; see nim), from Old English niman (“to take”). Cognate with Icelandic and Norwegian Nynorsk taka (“to take”), Norwegian Bokmål ta (“to take”), Swedish ta (“to take”), Danish tage (“to take, seize”), Middle Dutch taken (“to grasp”), Dutch taken (“to take; to grasp”), Middle Low German tacken (“to grasp”). Compare with tackle.
