Etymology[edit]
Apocopic form of antaga, calqued from Middle Low German annemen or German annehmen. All compounds with the verb ta have gone through apocope and those forms are now the standard ones, see also avta/avtaga, inta/intaga and överta/övertaga. Cognate with Danish antage, Norwegian Bokmål anta, Norwegian Nynorsk anta, antake, antaka. Morphologically the same as native Swedish åta (åtaga) and English ontake.
