From the root ق د د (q d d) in the sense of being a thing separated or cut apart, a thing distinct with its own measure and shape, a defined piece; extended semantically to a secure definite thing, a certainty, hence the past tense implying a thing has already been set or definitive.

The non-past tense stems from the idea of something intended, likely expected, planned to be, measured to occur, or cut out to happen.
