How the patterns shape this root
دَعَا is to call: to invite someone, or to call on God — a weak root, so the forms end in ـَا, ـُو, ـُ: دَعَا، يَدْعُو، اُدْعُ. A دَعْوَة is an invitation (دَعْوَةٌ لِلْعَشَاءِ) and also a prayer said for someone; دُعَاء (the فُعَال pattern) is personal supplication, as distinct from the ritual صَلَاة. The one invited is مَدْعُوّ (مَفْعُول); the caller is دَاعٍ, which also means 'a reason': لَا دَاعِيَ لِلْقَلَقِ, no need to worry. A دَعْوَى is a claim brought to court.
