Etymology

From Middle Scots tak, tacke, from Early Scots tak, from Middle English taken (“to take”), from Old English tacan (“to grasp, touch”), a borrowing from Old Norse taka (“to touch, take”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *tēkaną (“to touch”). Tak 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. See: Middle English 'taken', Old English 'tacan', Proto-Germanic '*tēkaną', Middle English 'nimen', English 'take', Norn 'taka'.
