Etymology
The word comes from the Arabic triliteral root ء-ك-د (ʔ-k-d), which carries the sense of confirming and making firm. It follows the faʿīl adjective pattern, which often gives an intensive or resultant meaning, here the state of being made sure. The same root produces the common verb أكّد, to confirm or emphasize.
