Verse meaning
This is the verse translation, not a definition of the individual word.
Let not the believers take disbelievers as allies instead of believers, for whoever does so has nothing to do with Allah at all, except as a protective measure to save yourself from them[1]. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the final return.

[1] Upon fearing harm from the disbelievers, Muslims are given license to placate them with their tongues, as long as their hearts are firm in Faith.
