Etymology
The word comes from the triliteral root w-q-t, which carries the idea of an appointed time. It is the verbal noun of the form II verb waqqata, meaning to set a time for something. The doubled middle radical of form II adds a sense of fixing or appointing, so the noun names the act of assigning a time.
