Word origin

The word 'partake' originated from Middle English 'part(t)aken', from Old French 'participe', from Latin 'participare' meaning 'to share'. The term has been used in English since the late 14th century. Over time, 'partake' has evolved to encompass both the meanings of participating in something and consuming food or drink.
