No, Fred, there is a common root meaning. It is just not easily expressed in
English as a single word. In other words, there is no one-to-one
correspondence between the Hebrew and English.
Two suggestions were given when this was discussed before. Check your
archives.
The word is neither elusive nor are the meanings incapable of being bound
together.
Oh, and just out of curiosity, what is the "plain root meaning" of קדש? You
might want to check that your English word does indeed match the entire range
of the Hebrew concept.

קדש represents a nice word to interpret, with a plain root meaning to set
apart. And the applied meanings to set apart for bad or good come naturally.
That elusive פקד word we discussed earlier contains no such easy common root
meaning to bind all of the varied applied usages together.
