Its root in the classical dictionaries

قوله تعالى: ﴿وهو الذي كف أيديهم عنكم﴾ [الفتح: 24] الكف: المنع، ومنه قيل لكف الإنسان كف لأنه يمنع ما فيه؛ سمي باسم المصدر. يقال: كففته أكفه كفا.

عمدة الحفاظ في تفسير أشرف الألفاظ — السمين الحلبي

الكاف والفاء أصل صحيح يدل على قبض وانقباض. من ذلك الكف للإنسان، سميت بذلك لأنها تقبض الشيء. ثم تقول: كففت فلانا عن الأمر وكفكفته. ويقال للرجل يسأل الناس: هو يستكف ويتكفف. الأصل هذا، ثم يفرقون بين الكلمات تختلف في بعض المعنى والقياس واحد
