حَقِيقَةtruth, realityحَقّtruth; rightEtymology
تَحْقِيق is the verbal noun of the form II verb حَقَّقَ, built on the root ح-ق-ق, which carries the sense of truth, right, and reality. The form II pattern تَفْعِيل turns the root into the act of making something true or real, hence verifying, realizing, or investigating. From the courtroom to the newsroom, the word came to mean the act of getting at the facts. The same root gives حَقّ (right, truth) and حَقِيقَة (reality).
