revolt

'take to' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with human feelings as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'streets when meagre voltage is cut' is the wordplay.
'REVOLT' is hidden in amongst the letters.

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
