Analysis. sam- (together) + ā- (toward) + √dī (take); literally 'taking together toward oneself', hence accepting or undertaking
Etymology. √dī 'to take' is cognate with Sanskrit √dā (give, place) and Greek δίδωμι didōmi (give); the prefix sam- (together) + ā- (toward) compounds the image of bringing something into one's possession or responsibility.
