Well, 'they explain' at the video hyperlinked-to below. But what's important here is 'that word' (below-hyperlinked to the explanation you're probably looking-for)---which you only know-about because it's connected to other words you know better, built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Partake” (to Share in some Degree the Nature, Character or Peculiarities of) is built on-- well, there's the Middle English |Part - |Taker, but that's built on the single ancient word that means |Participant or |Sharer.
As with other words that 'come to me' through Bible-discussion, this word is one of a few possible translations. The word in Hebrews 3:1--μέτοχοι (metochoi)--means "sharing in" and is also translated |Partner, |Associate, |Companion, |Fellow.
