How it is used
Waqār is the abstract noun for a settled, dignified calm — the same stillness sense (سَكَنَ) that the root carries when it describes something "resting" in the heart. Lane cites the Qur'an (33:33), وَقِرْنَ فِى بُيُوتِكُنَّ, where a form of the root is used to enjoin gravity and steadiness.
Words from the same root
- وَقَرَ to be dull of hearing (of an ear); also, to rest or settle (of a thing in the heart)
- أَوْقَرَ to load, or load heavily (a beast of burden; also a palm-tree with fruit)
- وَقَّرَ to treat with honour, reverence, or respect
- تَوَقَّرَ to comport oneself with gravity, staidness, sedateness
- وِقْرٌ a load, or heavy load, carried by a beast
- وَقْرٌ heaviness, or dullness, of hearing; deafness
