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.
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

- Each word opens its meaning.
For Him (alone) is prayer In Truth: any others that they Call upon besides Him hear them No more than if they were To stretch forth their hands For water to reach their mouths But it reaches them not: For the prayer of those Without Faith is nothing But (futile) wandering (in the mind).
Surah Ar-Ra'd, verse 13:14 - Each word opens its meaning.
So his fruits (and enjoyment) Were encompassed (with ruin), And he remained twisting And turning his hands Over what he had spent On his property, which had (Now) tumbled to pieces To its very foundations, And he could only say, "Woe is me! Would I had Never ascribed partners To my Lord and Cherisher!"
Surah Al-Kahf, verse 18:42
