How the patterns shape this root
أَجْر is pay — and, in religion, the reward for a good deed; أُجْرَة is a fare or fee, so سَيَّارَةُ أُجْرَةٍ is a car for hire, a taxi. Form II أَجَّرَ is to rent something out, and the landlord is مُؤَجِّر (مُفَعِّل); form X اِسْتَأْجَرَ is to take something for rent, and the tenant is مُسْتَأْجِر (مُسْتَفْعِل). The rent itself is إِيجَار: the إِفْعَال pattern on a hamza root, whose hamza melts into a long ī.
