maṣdarتَطْوِيقٌ
Core sense — he put a neck-ring on him; he imposed a burden on himgenerated
2.1He attired him with a طَوْق [or neck-ring]—طوّقهُ طَوْقًا
.
2.1.1figurative · مجازI made the thing to be [as though it were] his طَوْق [or neck-ring]—طَوَّقْتُهُ الشَّىْءَ
I imposed upon you the thing as one that is difficult, troublesome, or inconvenient—طَوَّقْتُكَ الشَّىْءَ
They shall have that which they were niggardly of made to cleave to their necks [like the neck-ring]—سَيُطَوَّقُونَ مَا بَخِلُوا بِهِ
And upon those who shall have it put upon them like the طَوْق upon their necks [shall be incumbent, etc.]—وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُطَوَّقُونَهُ
This expresses the imposing upon someone of a thing that is difficult, troublesome, or inconvenient.
In the Qur'ān 3:176; as is said in a tradition, it shall be made a biting snake upon the neck.
A reading in the Qur'ān 2:180; in the CK, wrongly, يُطَوِّقُونَهُ.
This is like the sayings يُجَشَّمُونَهُ and يُكَلَّفُونَهُ [i.e. they shall have it imposed upon them as a thing that is difficult, troublesome, or inconvenient].
Another reading is يَطَّوَّقُونَهُ (in the CK, wrongly, يُطَّوَّقُونَهُ), originally يَتَطَوَّقُونَهُ, with the same meaning as the former.
Another is يُطَيَّقُونَهُ, originally يُطَيْوَقُونَهُ, also with the same meaning; in the CK, wrongly, يُطَيْقُونَهُ.
Another is يَطَّيَّقُونَهُ, originally يَتَطَيْوَقُونَهُ, also with the same meaning; in the CK, wrongly, with damm to the first letter, and so in what follows.
He made it — a sword, and the like — a طَوْق [a thing encircling his neck]—طوّقهُ بِهِ
Also طوّقهُ إِيَّاهُ in the same sense.
[He conferred upon me a permanent badge of favour]—طَوَّقَنِى نِعْمَةً
[I had permanent badges of favours from him conferred upon me]—طُوِّقْتُ مِنْهُ أَيَادِىَ
The verb is used in this way to express dispraise as well; some have wrongly said it is restricted to that. [See also Form 2 in art. قلد, and see طَوْقٌ.]

For those who can do it (With hardship), is a ransom, the feeding of one that is indigent. But he that will give more, of his own free will,- it is better for him. And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

Core sense — an arch, a vaulted structure; a single layer or fold; a kind of garmentgenerated
1
A curved construction or structure; [said to be] a Persian word arabicized. Plural طَاقَاتٌ and طِيقَانٌ.
Or an arch of a building, wherever it is; plural أَطْوَاقٌ and طِيقَانٌ.
In the sense of an arch built with bricks, it is [said to be] originally طَائِقٌ, and so to have the plural طَوَائِقُ; so says Az.
[It is often applied to an arched gateway or doorway, and to a vault.]
[And] the same as كُوَّةٌ [i.e. a mural opening; a hole or opening in a wall — a meaning also given to إِفْرِيزٌ, by which طَاقٌ will be found to be explained in what follows; or a niche in a wall, which, like a window, is now often called طَاقَةٌ].
[And apparently a kind of arched construction with a flat top which forms a shelf, against a wall. ]
And the same as إِفْرِيزٌ, which is explained as a projecting roof or covering of a wall; a projecting coping, ledge, or cornice round the upper part of a wall; and in the KL as a hole or opening in a wall, as mentioned above, though its author adds “so we have heard”.
Or so أَطْوَاقٌ, on the authority of Ibn-ʿAbbád. [But I think this doubtful, the more so as another meaning given to أَطْوَاقٌ in these same lexicons is said by IB to be a meaning of طَاقٌ.]
1.1
See also طَائِقٌ, in two places.
1.2[A single piece of leather of a sole that consists of two or more such pieces]—طَاقُ نَعْلٍ
[Also a layer, stratum, or lamina; any flat piece of a thing, such as is sometimes placed over, or under, a similar piece; and anything such as is sometimes lined, or faced, or otherwise combined, with another like it. Plural طَاقَاتٌ.]
[which means the same]—طَاقَةُ نعْلٍ
A single sole; i.e. a sole of a single piece—نَعْلٌ طَاقٌ وَاحِدٌ
Not made of two pieces sewed together, one upon the other.
[Single, not double, not lined nor faced nor stuffed]—طَاقٌ وَاحِدٌ
Said of a garment. (Az, and Th, in art. سمط, where this meaning is clearly shown.)
[Trousers, or drawers, of single cloth]—سَرَاوِيلُ طَاقٌ وَاحِدٌ
So Th, in art. سمط.

Also a certain sort of garment, having sleeves.
Esh-Shereeshee: a garment worn by a new-born child, or young infant, without an opening at the bosom.
2.1
IAar: a [garment of the kind called] طَيْلَسَان; or such as is أَخْضَر [properly meaning green, but of a garment commonly meaning, as the Arabs use it, of a dark or an ashy dust-colour, or a dingy ash-colour]. Plural طِيقَانٌ, like سِيجَانٌ, plural of سَاجٌ.
2.2
And a [garment of the kind called] كِسَآءِ; and so أَطْوَاقٌ, on the authority of Ibn-ʿAbbád. [But this, as I have shown above, I think doubtful.]
2.3
And a [woman's muffler, or head-covering, called] خِمَار.

And so طَوْقٌ, which is originally a maṣdar, and is also explained as the utmost that one can do, with difficulty, trouble, or inconvenience.
It is within my ability, or power—هُوَ فِى طَوْقِى
See the Qur'ān 2, last verse, and verse 250.
In the phrase طَلَبْتَهُ طَاقَتَكَ [meaning You sought him, or it, in your state of ability, or power], Sb says the quasi-maṣdar is prefixed to the pronoun, and thus made determinate, though it stands in the place of a denotative of state; just as the article ال is prefixed [to عراك] in the phrase أَرْسَلَهَا.
2A strand, yarn, or single twist, of a rope—طَاقَةٌ مِنْ حَبْلٍ
[Also a slender, small bundle of fibres or filaments or the like, one of those which twisted together make up a rope; a strand, a yarn, a single twist, or single thread, of a rope, cord, fringe, and the like.]
Synonymous with قُوَّةٌ, under قُوَّةٌ; and so طَاقٌ مِنْ حَبْلٍ, plural أَطْوَاقٌ, under قُوَّةٌ. [The plural of طَاقَةٌ in this sense is طَاقَاتٌ.]
طَاقَاتُ الحَبْلِ means قُوَاهُ, as is said in the A.
2.1
And a شُعْبَة [i.e. a spring, spray, bunch, or branchlet] of sweet basil, or of sweet-smelling plants; and likewise [a lock, or flock] of hair, and of wool and the like.
You say طَاقَةُ رَيْحَانٍ [or مِنْ رَيْحَانٍ, etc.], meaning شُعْبَةٌ مِنْهُ, as in the A.
2.2
طَاقَةُ نَعْلٍ: see طَاقٌ, latter half.

Qur’ānic occurrences طَاقَة
2:249
فَلَمَّا فَصَلَ طَالُوتُ بِٱلْجُنُودِ قَالَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُبْتَلِيكُم بِنَهَرٍ فَمَن شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّى وَمَن لَّمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ مِنِّىٓ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱغْتَرَفَ غُرْفَةًۢ بِيَدِهِۦ ۚ فَشَرِبُوا۟ مِنْهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّنْهُمْ ۚ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُۥ هُوَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ قَالُوا۟ لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِۦ ۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلَـٰقُوا۟ ٱللَّهِ كَم مِّن فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةًۢ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَWhen Talut set forth with the armies, he said: "Allah will test you at the stream: if any drinks of its water, He goes not with my army: Only those who taste not of it go with me: A mere sip out of the hand is excused." but they all drank of it, except a few. When they crossed the river,- He and the faithful ones with him,- they said: "This day We cannot cope with Goliath and his forces." but those who were convinced that they must meet Allah, said: "How oft, by Allah's will, Hath a small force vanquished a big one? Allah is with those who steadfastly persevere."
2:286
لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا ٱكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِۦ ۖ وَٱعْفُ عَنَّا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَآ ۚ أَنتَ مَوْلَىٰنَا فَٱنصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَOn no soul doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray:) "Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden Like that which Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith."
