Etymology
وِفْقَ comes from the Semitic root w-f-q, which carries the idea of agreement and fitting together. The base noun وِفْق means accord or conformity. In its accusative form وِفْقَ it works as a quasi-preposition meaning according to or in line with. The same root gives the common verb وافَقَ, to agree.
