takeaway

Main idea remembered

Takeaway has two clusters of meaning.

In British English, a takeaway is food prepared for eating elsewhere, or the establishment that sells it: Let's get a takeaway tonight.

Americans say takeout.

The other sense, common everywhere, is the main point or lesson to be extracted from something: The key takeaway from the meeting was that we need more data.

What you take away with you—whether food or insight.
