Its root in the classical dictionaries
الذال والواو والقاف أصل واحد، وهو اختبار الشيء من جهة تطعم، ثم يشتق منه مجازا فيقال: ذقت المأكول أذوقه ذوقا. وذقت ما عند فلان: اختبرته. وفي كتاب الخليل: كل ما نزل بإنسان من مكروه فقد ذاقه. ويقال ذاق القوس، إذا نظر ما مقدار إعطائها وكيف قوتها. قال:
If then they turn away,
We have not sent thee
As a guard over them.
Thy duty is but to convey
(The Message). And truly,
When We give man
A taste of a Mercy
From ourselves, he doth
Exult thereat, but
When some ill happens
To him, on account
Of the deeds which
His hands have sent forth,
Truly then is man ungrateful!
