FIL: Isang lumang salita para sa pagkuha o pagtanggap ng isang bagay.
EN: to take; to get (archaic)
This is a deep Tagalog word, the lolo of 'kumuha.' If you use 'kumaon' today, people might think you just came out of a time machine from the era of Jose Rizal. It means 'to take' or 'to get,' but with a very classic, literary flair. It's the vintage filter of verbs.
ROOT MEANING: to fetch; to get (water)
Archaic and poetic. 'Kumuha' is the modern and common equivalent.
