The verb comes from the triliteral root q-r-r, whose base sense is to settle or become fixed in place. The form IV verb أَقَرَّ literally means to make something settle, which extends to settling a fact in the mind, hence to admit or acknowledge. The same root gives the word for stability and for a fixed seat or headquarters.
