Its root in the classical dictionaries

الوقاية: حفظ الشيء مما يؤذيه ويضره.

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

الواو والقاف والياء: كلمة واحدة تدل على دفع شيء عن شيء بغيره. ووقيته أقيه وقيا. والوقاية: ما يقي الشيء. واتق الله: توقه، أي اجعل بينك وبينه كالوقاية. قال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: «اتقوا النار ولو بشق تمرة»، وكأنه أراد: اجعلوها وقاية بينكم وبينها.
