How the patterns shape this root
The root means holding something apart. حَجَزَ is to book — to hold a seat or a room for yourself — and حَجْز is the booking, plural حُجُوزَات; مَحْجُوز (مَفْعُول) is reserved, the word on a table or a seat. A حَاجِز (فَاعِل), 'the one that holds back', is a barrier or a checkpoint, and form VIII اِحْتَجَزَ is to hold someone back, to detain.
