take-aways
What you remember
Take-aways are the key points or lessons extracted from an experience, presentation, or discussion: What are your main take-aways from the meeting?
The word emphasizes what someone carries away mentally—the insights worth remembering.
In British English, take-away also means food purchased to eat elsewhere, or the restaurant selling it.
Also spelled takeaways.
