How the patterns shape this root
دَفَعَ is to push — and to pay, pushing money across the counter: كَمْ أَدْفَعُ؟ how much do I pay? دَفْع is payment (الدَّفْعُ عِنْدَ الِاسْتِلَامِ, cash on delivery), دَفْعَة one payment, an instalment — or a batch, like a graduating class. مَدْفُوع (مَفْعُول) is paid and مَدْفُوعَات are payments. A دَافِع (فَاعِل) is what pushes you: a motive; form VII اِنْدَفَعَ is to be pushed forward, to rush.
