How the patterns shape this root
جَدِيد (فَعِيل) is new, plural جُدُد. Form II جَدَّدَ is to make new again, to renew — جَدِّدِ الْإِقَامَةَ, renew the residence permit — and تَجْدِيد is renewal. The same letters give جَدّ, grandfather, and جَدَّة, grandmother (also the city of Jeddah), and جِدّ, seriousness: جِدًّا, 'in earnest', is the everyday word for 'very' — جَمِيلٌ جِدًّا, very beautiful.
