Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root w-ʿ-d, which carries the sense of promising or fixing a time. Form VI (tafāʿul pattern) adds a reciprocal meaning, so tawāʿada means to promise or arrange something mutually, with both sides taking part. The same root gives waʿada, the plain verb for making a single-sided promise.
