How the patterns shape this root
أَهْل is your family — أَهْلِي, my family — and also the people of a place, أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ. The greeting أَهْلًا وَسَهْلًا literally says 'you have come to family and to easy ground': welcome. The ending ـِيّ gives أَهْلِيّ, 'belonging to the people', used for private, non-state institutions. Form II أَهَّلَ is to make someone fit for something, so مُؤَهَّل (مُفَعَّل) is qualified and مُؤَهَّلَات are qualifications; form V تَأَهَّلَ is to become fit — and in Saudi speech مُتَأَهِّل means married, settled with a family.
