Etymology
تَطابُق is the verbal noun of the Form VI verb تَطابَقَ, built on the root ط-ب-ق. That root carries the idea of fitting, layering, or covering exactly, as in طَبَق, a plate or layer that sits flush on another. Form VI adds a reciprocal sense, so the noun describes two things fitting each other perfectly rather than one thing fitting alone. The word is native Semitic vocabulary, not borrowed.
