To receive into one's hold, or to remove from another's. The same word for accepting and for seizing.
Old Norse taka (to take, to grasp), which displaced the native Old English niman in Middle English; receiving into one's hold and removing from another's have always been one and the same act of grasping.
Receiving into one's own hold, or removing from another's. The same word serves accepting and seizing, and only the circumstance says which one happened.
