Its root in the classical dictionaries
يقال: نكل عن الشيء: ضعف وعجز،
قوله تعالى: ﴿إن لدينا أنكالا﴾ [المزمل: 12] أي قيودا. واحده نكل نحو جمل وأجمال. وأصل ذلك من نكل، أي منع، لأن القيد يمنع من المشي. ومنه: نكلت به، أي فعلت به، فعلا يمنع غيره من الوقوع في فعله. والنكول عن اليمين: الامتناع عنه. والنكل أيضا: اللجام الثقيل، لأنه يمنع الدابة من الجماح.
