How the patterns shape this root
عَرَب is the Arabs and عَرَبِيّ, with the nisba ending, is Arab or Arabic — اللُّغَةُ الْعَرَبِيَّةُ, the Arabic language, often just الْعَرَبِيَّة. The root's old sense is clear expression: form IV أَعْرَبَ is to express clearly, and its noun إِعْرَاب is the grammar word for the case endings that make a sentence clear. Form II عَرَّبَ is to make something Arabic, so a مُعَرَّب word is a loanword dressed in Arabic clothes.
