🌳Etymology
Origin
The phrase combines 'take' from Old English 'tacan' (to grasp or seize) with 'account' from Old French 'acont' (reckoning or narrative), which derives from Latin 'computare' (to calculate). The phrase developed in Middle English as a metaphorical expression meaning to mentally grasp or include something in one's reckoning.
