شاق

Etymology 1
.

Verb

 * 1) to excite desire in
 * 2) to please, to delight
 * 3)  to set up, to tie

Verb

 * 1) to go against, to oppose, to clash with, to contend with
 * 2) to defy, to disobey, to rebel against

Usage notes
Because of the general significations of the root (that is, connoting cracks, splits, and fissures), the verb often implies "creating divisions" or "being a troublemaker," hence its use to refer to rebels and armed dissenters. Compare with التحم, which instead refers to fierce physical engagement between two or more parties.

Adjective

 * 1) hard, arduous, laborious, toilsome
