How the patterns shape this root
بَرْد is cold — أَشْعُرُ بِالْبَرْدِ, I feel cold — and بَارِد (فَاعِل) is the adjective: مَاءٌ بَارِدٌ, cold water; الْجَوُّ بَارِدٌ, it's cold out. Form II بَرَّدَ is to make cold, so تَبْرِيد is cooling or air-conditioning and a بَرَّاد (the intensive فَعَّال used for a machine) is a fridge or a water cooler. بَرِيد, the mail, is listed under this root by the dictionaries, though it probably began as a loanword.
