Morphology

takedown = take (transparent) = down + take

'Takedown' here means removal (to take down content), which is a straightforward sense of 'take' + 'down'. [Postprocessing: moved 'down' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Takedown comes from take + down, in the sense 'to remove'. A takedown notice asks a website to remove content, so the word now means a formal request to take something offline.
