How the patterns shape this root

ذَكَرَ is to mention or to remember; form V تَذَكَّرَ is to recall — أَتَذَكَّرُ, I remember — and form II ذَكَّرَ is to make someone remember, to remind, with تَذْكِير the reminder. A تَذْكِرَة, now a ticket, was first a reminder slip; a مُذَكِّرَة is a memo or notebook, and ذَاكِرَة (فَاعِلَة) is the memory that does the remembering. Form III ذَاكَرَ is to revise for an exam, and ذِكْر is the remembrance of God. The same letters give ذَكَر, male, and so مُذَكَّر, the grammar word for masculine.
