accept
Agree to take
Accept means to receive willingly or agree to something offered.
You accept a gift, an invitation, a job offer, or an apology.
Beyond physical receiving, accept means to regard as true or valid: I accept your explanation.
To accept responsibility is to acknowledge it as yours.
To accept something difficult—a loss, a limitation—is to come to terms with it: She finally accepted that he wasn't coming back.
