How the patterns shape this root

دَوَاء is medicine, the remedy, plural أَدْوِيَة (pattern أَفْعِلَة); the root ends in a weak letter, which becomes a hamza after the long ā: دَوَاء. Form III دَاوَى is to treat someone with medicine and مُدَاوَاة is that treatment; form VI تَدَاوَى is to take medicine for oneself. The pharmacy, صَيْدَلِيَّة, comes from another root.
