Arabic: What is the 3 letter root (i.e. stem) for the verb ' to retire' (he retired- taqaa'da)
I know how to do all of the verb conjugations (he retired, I retired, I will retire, etc.). But I want to look the related words up in an old version of the Hans Wehr Arabic-English dictionary.

And I know arabic words are organized differently in an arabic dictionary than in an English dictionary. An English dictionary lists words in A-Z sequence, while an arabic dictionary organizes words by their 3 letter root consonants. (Some words have a 2, 4 or 5 letter consonant).

I cannot find an entry to describe "to retire" (meaning to permanently stop working). I have tried using the roots TAA QAAF DAAL and QAAF Hamza Daal and haven't found anything. I am doing something wrong.

Note I am successful in using an arabic dictionary to find other words, but am not having luck with this one word.

Answer

تقاعدَ / تقاعدَ عن يتقاعد ، تقاعُدًا ، فهو مُتقاعِد ، والمفعول مُتقاعَدٌ عنه 
تَقاعَدَ عَنِ الأمْرِ : لَمْ يَهْتَمَّ بِهِ 
تَقاعَدَ بِهِ : لَمْ يُعْطِهِ حَقَّهُ 
تَقاعَدَ الْمُوَظَّفُ : أُحِيلَ على التَّقاعُدِ ، أَي التَّوَقُّفُ عَنْ مُزاوَلَةِ العَمَلِ لِبُلوغِ السِّنِّ القانونِيَّةِ لِيَتَقاضَى مبْلَغاً شَهْرِيّاً لِمَعاشِهِ

The infinitive form of the verb  تَقاعَدَ    is  تقاعَدْ  . The difference is the sign at the last letter.

قعَد عن العمل : تأخّر عنه أو تركه
