Homonym: take off (Departure)
"Take off" refers to the phase in aviation when an aircraft leaves the ground and begins to ascend into the air. This process involves the pilot accelerating the plane down the runway until it reaches a speed sufficient for lift-off. The wings generate enough lift to overcome the weight of the aircraft, allowing it to rise into the sky.
In a broader context, "take off" can also describe the moment when something becomes successful or popular. For example, a new product or trend may "take off" when it gains significant attention and sales. This usage highlights the idea of rapid growth or acceptance in various fields, such as business or entertainment.
