For a massive charged vector with interaction −κ(W+J+W−J†), neglect derivatives at momenta small compared with its mass. Completing the square in mW2​W+W− leaves −κ2J†J/mW2​. With κ=g/(22​) this yields the Fermi constant relation GF​/2​=g2/(8mW2​). Corrections contain extra derivatives and are suppressed by momentum squared over the heavy mass squared.
