betake
Cause oneself moving
Betake is an archaic or literary verb meaning to go or take oneself somewhere: He betook himself to the countryside.
It appears almost exclusively in the reflexive form betake oneself and primarily in past tense: She betook herself to bed.
The word survives mainly in historical fiction and deliberately old-fashioned prose.
