Etymology
تَعاوُن comes from the Semitic root ع-و-ن (ʿ-w-n), which carries the sense of helping or assisting. The word itself is the verbal noun of the Form VI verb تَعاوَنَ, and Form VI in Arabic typically marks reciprocal or mutual action. So تَعاوُن literally captures people helping each other back and forth, not just one party aiding another.
