Morphology

taketh = take (semi-transparent) = take + eth

Formed from the verb 'take' plus the archaic 3rd-person singular suffix '-eth', which is not productive in modern English and may be unfamiliar to learners.

Etymology

The word taketh is an old, Bible-style form of take that uses the ending -eth. That ending works like our 's' in takes, so taketh simply means 'takes' or 'gets'.
