The primitive root.
Strong’s H6887, צרר tsarar, a primitive root meaning, “to cramp.” The 3-letter root is tsadey + resh + resh.
tsadey צ, ץ = the trail, thus a man concealed, journey, chase, hunt
resh ר = the head of man, thus head, first, top, beginning, man
resh ר = the head of man, thus head, first, top, beginning, man
The story: He who lies in wait (tsadey) for a man (resh) to encroach upon the man (resh).
