Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the Form II passive participle مُذَبْذَبِينَ at 4:143. The hypocrites are described as being between two sides, neither belonging to this group nor to that group. The explicit بَيْنَ construction and doubled neither-nor qualification establish unsettled movement or indecision between alternatives. The target is masculine plural accusative and describes their state. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
