How the patterns shape this root

دَارَ is to turn or go round — a hollow root: دَارَ، يَدُورُ. دَوْر is one turn, so دَوْرِي is 'my turn'; it is also a role and a floor of a building. A دَوْرَة is one round or cycle — a training course, or دَوْرَةُ الْمِيَاهِ, the toilet. Form IV أَدَارَ, to turn something, came to mean to run a business: إِدَارَة is management or a department, and the one who runs it is the مُدِير (مُفْعِل), the manager. A دَائِرَة (فَاعِلَة) is a circle, and a government bureau.
