Definition of take place
take placeidiomatic

The phrase "take place" originates from the Old English "tacan stede," which literally means "to take a place." Over time, the meaning shifted from physically occupying a space to describing the occurrence of an event. "Take" comes from the Old English verb "tacan," meaning "to take, to receive, to seize." "Place" comes from the Old French "place," meaning "a spot or location." The phrase "take place" emerged in the 14th century, and its meaning evolved to signify the act of happening or occurring.
