Hérité de moyen anglais: takel

Appartenant à moyen néerlandais: taken

Appartenant à danois: takkel

Appartenant à suédois: tackel

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.
