Etymology
The word derives from the triliteral root w-q-ʕ, which carries the sense of falling or landing. The form is the verbal noun of the second-form verb waqqaʿa, meaning to make something fall into place. In classical chancery practice it meant the mark a ruler placed at the foot of a petition, and from there it came to mean a signature.
