Etymology

The verb comes from the Semitic root ḥ-q-q, which carries the sense of truth, rightness, and fixity. The base form ḥaqqa means to be true or to become due. Form IV adds a causative prefix, turning that into to make true or to establish as right. The same root gives the common noun ḥaqq, meaning truth or right.
