Etymology of TOOK COURT

The phrase "took court" does not have a specific etymology on its own, as it is a combination of two common English words. However, "took" and "court" can be analyzed separately:

Took: The word "took" is the past tense of the verb "take". Its etymology can be traced back to the Old English word "tēon" or "tōc", which means "to capture" or "to grasp". Through various linguistic changes over time, it evolved into "took" in Middle English, retaining its basic meaning of "to grasp" or "to get possession of".
