How the patterns shape this root
ب-ع-د is distance in space and in time. بَعِيد (pattern فَعِيل) is far; its opposite is قَرِيب, near. The same root gives بَعْدَ, 'after': what comes after stands at a distance in time. بُعْد is distance itself, أَبْعَد is farther, and form VIII اِبْتَعَدَ is to move yourself away.
