Read a random definition: intrinsic ambiguity
A quick definition of take from the table:
Take from the table: When a group of people, like a parliament, have a lot of things to talk about, sometimes they need to stop talking about one thing and talk about something else. They can "table" the first thing, which means they put it aside for later. When they are ready to talk about it again, they "take it from the table." This just means they start talking about it again.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Take from the table means to resume consideration of business that was previously tabled in parliamentary law.
Example: During a meeting, a member may make a motion to table a discussion on a particular topic. Later in the same meeting, another member may make a motion to take that topic from the table and resume the discussion.
Explanation: When a topic is tabled, it means that discussion on that topic is postponed until a later time. Taking a topic from the table means that the discussion is resumed and continued from where it was left off.
