When did takeout food morph into takeaway?

To me just because we are suffering a pandemic it’s still takeout.  Is that what they call Old School? Am I not With It!

Don’t we still just pull up and take It out of the store?

Then there’s the question as to what It is. To me it’s food that we eat when I bring it home.  
Then there’s the question as to where and what’s the best take out (or takeaway)?

A robber walked into a Chinese restaurant, pointed a gun at the owner and said “Give me all your money to takeout.”

It's all the same to me. Takeaway has more of a curbside pick up ring. Take out, you walk in the store and personally pick it up.

In Michigan they call it carry-out which sounds odd to me. Takeout is takeout - that's my takeaway from this blog.

Language matters and takeaway in that context (American usage) reads like not paying for the cuisine.
