Etymology
تَراجُع is the verbal noun of the Form VI verb تَراجَعَ, built on the root ر ج ع, 'to return' or 'go back.' The Form VI pattern تَفاعُل adds a sense of gradual or step-by-step action, so the word names the act of falling back: a retreat, a decline, or a climbdown. The base verb رَجَعَ simply means 'to return.'
