Etymology 1Edit
From Early Scots tak, from Middle English taken (“to take”),[1] from Old English tacan (“to grasp, touch”), a borrowing from Old Norse taka (“to touch, take”) (from Proto-Germanic *tēkaną (“to touch”)) which gradually displaced the native Middle English nimen (“to take”). Cognates include English take and Norn taka. The noun is partly from the verb and partly from Old Norse tak (“grip”) and/or taka (“taking, seizure”), via Middle English tak, take.
