تَوافُق is the verbal noun of the Form VI verb تَوافَقَ, built on the triliteral root و ف ق, which carries the sense of fitting, suiting, or being in accord. The ت- prefix and pattern of Form VI mark reciprocal or mutual action, so the root meaning of fitting becomes a mutual fitting together, that is, agreement or harmony between two or more sides. The same root gives Arabic its everyday words for agreement and approval.
