TAKE, verb transitive preterit tense took; participle passive taken. [Latin 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, Latin 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.]
