Webster's 1828 Dictionary
TAKE
v.t. pret.took; pp. taken. [L. doceo. This word seems to be allied to think, for we say, I think a thing to be so, or I take it to be so. It seems also to be allied to Sax. teogan, to draw, to tug, L. duco; for we say, to take a likeness, and to draw a likeness. We use taking also for engaging, attracting. We say, a child takes to his mother or nurse, and a man takes to drink; which seem to include attaching and holding. We observe that take and teach are radically the same word. ] 1. In a general sense, to get hold or gain possession of a thing in almost any manner, either by receiving it when offered, or by using exertion to obtain it. Take differs from seize, as it does not always imply haste, force or violence. It more generally denotes to gain or receive into possession in a peaceable manner, either passively or by active exertions. Thus,
2. To receive what is offered.
Then I took the cup at the Lord's hand. Jeremiah 25:17.
3. To lay hold of; to get into one's power for keeping.
No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge. Deuteronomy 24:6.
4. To receive with a certain affection of mind. He takes it in good part; or he takes it very ill.
5. To catch by surprise or artifice; to circumvent.
Men in their loose unguarded hours they take,
Not that themselves are wise, but others weak.
6. To seize; to make prisoner. The troops entered, slew and took three hundred janizaries.
This man was taken of the Jews. Acts 23:27.
7. To captivate with pleasure; to engage the affections; to delight.
Neither let her take thee with her eyelids. Proverbs 6:25.
Cleombrotus was to taken with this prospect, that he had no patience.
8. To get into one's power by engines or nets; to entrap; to ensnare; as, to take foxes with traps; to take fishes with nets, or with hook and line.
9. To understand in a particular sense; to receive as meaning. I take your meaning.
You take me right.
Charity, taken in its largest extent, is nothing else but the sincere love to God and our neighbor.
1 . To exact and receive.
Take no usury of him or increase. Leviticus 25:36.
11. To employ; to occupy. The prudent man always takes time for deliberation, before he passes judgment.
12. To agree to; to close in with; to comply with.
I take thee at thy word.
13. To form and adopt; as, to take a resolution.
14. To catch; to embrace; to seize; as, to take one by the hand; to take in the arms.
15. To admit; to receive as an impression; to suffer; as, to take a form or shape.
Yet thy moist clay is pliant to command;
Now take the mold--
16. To obtain by active exertion; as, to take revenge or satisfaction for an injury.
17. To receive; to receive into the mind.
They took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13.
It appeared in his face that he took great contentment in this our question.
18. To swallow, as meat or drink; as, to take food; to take a glass of wine.
19. To swallow, as medicine; as, to take pills; to take stimulants.
