Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal comparison across all 41 occurrences supports full exertion as the shared core. The oath construction marks maximal intensity, جُهْدَهُمْ marks what contributors can manage, and Form III profiles sustained exertion in a cause, against opponents, or as pressure upon another. The participle and action noun preserve the same profile. No protected or pre-run meaning was edited, and no exact segment set produces an internal contradiction requiring a collision.
