takes off
Begins to fly
Takes off centers on departure or removal.
A plane takes off when it leaves the ground.
You take off your coat when you remove it.
To take off from work is to be absent: I'm taking off Friday.
When something takes off, it suddenly becomes successful or popular: The business really took off after the viral post.
To take off is also to leave abruptly: She took off without saying goodbye.
