takeout
Meal to go
Takeout is food prepared at a restaurant for eating elsewhere: Let's get Chinese takeout.
The word functions as noun or adjective: a takeout order, the takeout counter.
In British English, the equivalent is takeaway.
Takeout also describes anything removed or extracted—in bridge, a takeout double asks partner to bid.
