Morphology
The phrasal verb 'take in' here uses take (to receive/bring) + in (into/within) to mean 'absorb or experience' — as in 'take in the sights' = 'see/absorb the attractions'. The connection is metaphorical and relies on particle-verb usage that is not fully compositional or universally predictable for B1 learners, so the expression is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Take in (earn) likely comes from shops and events that take money in into their tills or boxes, adding it to what they have. That's why it means 'to receive or earn money'.
