Learn Farsi: او استحقاق این پاداش را دارد.

estehqâq follows the exact este-C1-C2-â-C3 pattern. The root consonants (C1, C2, C3) are h-q-q (ح-ق-ق). Because Form X nouns often indicate seeking, acquiring, or utilizing the root meaning, this word literally implies "acquiring the right" or "entitlement."

What other common Farsi words share the h-q-q root found in estehqâq?

The most common is haqq (right, entitlement, or truth), which you've likely seen in phrases like haqq bâ shomâst (you are right). Another very common word is haqiqat (truth/reality). Recognizing this root helps you instantly guess that estehqâq has to do with rights or deserving something.

The English translation says "is entitled to," but the Farsi sentence uses the verb dârad (has). Why?

Farsi frequently uses the construction "to have [noun]" where English uses "to be [adjective]" or a passive structure. Instead of saying someone "is entitled," Farsi literally says they "have the entitlement of" (estehqâq-e ... râ dârad).

Why does the object marker râ come after pâdâsh instead of immediately after estehqâq?

râ must follow the entire direct object noun phrase, not just the head noun. The direct object here is the full Ezafe-linked phrase estehqâq-e in pâdâsh (the entitlement of this bonus). Therefore, râ anchors to the very end of that complete phrase.
