Accepted as worth snapping? (5)

I believe the answer is:

taken

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'accepted' is the definition.
('take' can be a synonym of 'accept')

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for taken that I've seen before include "Removed; occupied" , "This is spoken for" , "Obtained" , "Removed (from a place)" , "Captured" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
