About תִּקְוָה (tiqvâh)
Tiqvāh literally means a cord or rope — something you hold onto — before it takes on the figurative sense of "expectancy" or "hope." That physical root is part of what makes Jeremiah 29:11 land the way it does: "thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" (literally, a future and a tiqvāh). Hope, in this word, isn't wishful thinking — it's something sturdy enough to hold your weight.
