1 ↗¹salīqaẗ; — 2 inborn disposition, instinct – WehrCowan1976
▪ Being a quasi-PP I (pattern Faʕīl-aẗ-), the original meaning of ²salīqaẗ ‘inborn disposition, instinct’ may have been *‘what is left after taking off the outer layers, the “skin” of s.o., the bare nature’, or *‘what is carved into s.o. like the traces left behind by feet\hoofs on a road, or the marks made on the skin by a thong, or by whipping, etc.’; cf. also DaṯAr sāliq ‘furrow (made in the soil to receive the seed)’ and salaq, vb. I, ‘to cultivate, plough, till’ (LandbergZetterstein1942). If this interpretation is valid, ²salīqaẗ is derived from ↗¹salaqa ‘to lacerate the skin (with a whip), skin, peel off’.

▪ If ²salīqaẗ is based on ↗¹salaqa ‘to lacerate the skin (with a whip), skin, peel off, strip’ it is akin to other items of √SLQ that build on the same notion, like ↗⁵salaqa ‘to hurt (with one’s tongue)’, ↗salāqaẗ ‘vicious tongue, violent language, violence of language’, or on the result of ‘lacerating, peeling, skinning’, namely *‘leaving traces, leaving bare’, like †⁸salaqa ‘to leave prints (on the soil: feet, hoofs)’, †salāʔiqᵘ ‘marks made by feet\hoofs on the road, or by thongs upon the skin of a camel’, prob. also ClassAs †⁴silqaẗ ‘water-course, channel in which water flows between two tracts of elevated ground’, †salaq ‘even plain, smooth, even tract of good soil, bare of trees’, †sulāq ‘a disease that causes eyelids or teeth to fall out’, †²salīq ‘what falls off from trees (leaves, etc.)’, perh. also †⁵salīq ‘side of a road’, or even †²silq ‘wolf’ (< * ‘the mangy one, with lacerated skin’?). Cf. prob. also the homonymous (SyrAr) ¹salīqaẗ ‘dish made of grain cooked with sugar, cinnamon and fennel’ which prob. orig. is *‘cooked and peeled (grain, barley)’, where ↗¹salaqa ‘to lacerate, skin, peel off’ overlaps with ↗³salaqa ‘to boil, cook in boiling water’.
