How the patterns shape this root
The root is wonder. عَجِيب (فَعِيل) is strange or amazing, عَجَب is astonishment (لَا عَجَبَ, no wonder), and form V تَعَجَّبَ is to be astonished. Form IV أَعْجَبَ is to fill with pleased wonder — to please: Arabic says يُعْجِبُنِي الْكِتَابُ, 'the book pleases me', for 'I like the book'. Its two participles are a pair: مُعْجِب (with i) is the impressive thing, مُعْجَب (with a) the impressed person — مُعْجَبٌ بِـ, a fan of — and إِعْجَاب is admiration, also the 'like' on social media.
