How the patterns shape this root
د-ر-س is study. دَرَسَ, 'he studied', gives the noun دَرْس, a lesson (plural دُرُوس), and دِرَاسَة, studying in general. Put مَـ in front and you get the place of study, مَدْرَسَة, the school (pattern مَفْعَلَة). Double the middle letter — دَرَّسَ — and the action is done to others: to teach; the teacher is مُدَرِّس on the pattern مُفَعِّل, and teaching as a profession is تَدْرِيس.
