How the patterns shape this root
ذَهَبَ is simply to go: أَذْهَبُ إِلَى الْجَامِعَةِ, I go to the university. ذَهَاب is the going (a return ticket is ذَهَابٌ وَإِيَابٌ) and ذَاهِب (فَاعِل) is 'going', used like English 'I'm going to…'. The same letters give ذَهَب, gold — keep the two apart by their vowels: ذَهَبَ he went, ذَهَبٌ gold. A مَذْهَب (مَفْعَل) is literally a way one goes, hence a school of thought.
