Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root ḥ-q-q, which carries the sense of truth, right, and what is fixed or established. It is the active participle of the Form II verb ḥaqqaqa, meaning to verify or ascertain. So the noun names the person who establishes what is true, whether in a criminal case or in a manuscript.
