The word "takeout" is a combination of the words "take" and "out." It originated in the early 20th century as a way to describe food that was purchased from a restaurant and then taken away to be consumed elsewhere. The phrase was first recorded in the 1920s, but it didn't become widely used until the mid-20th century with the rise of fast food restaurants. It is now a standard term for food that is ordered from a restaurant and collected by the customer, whether for dining in or on the go.
