Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle English: takel

Verwante met Middle Dutch: taken

Verwante met Deens: takkel

Verwante met Sweeds: tackel

In summary

From Middle English takel (“gear, apparatus”), from Middle Dutch or Middle Low German takel (“ship's rigging”), perhaps related to Middle Dutch taken (“to grasp, seize”). Akin to Danish takkel (“tackle”), Swedish tackel (“tackle”). More at take.
