How the patterns shape this root

Everything here is about bringing together. جَمَعَ is to gather or add up, and جَمْع is also the grammar word for the plural. The pattern فَاعِلَة gives جَامِعَة, the university, 'the one that gathers' students; the pattern فَاعِل gives جَامِع, the great mosque that gathers the Friday crowd — and Friday itself, الْجُمُعَة, is the day of gathering. Form VIII اِجْتَمَعَ is to gather together, its noun اِجْتِمَاع is a meeting, and مُجْتَمَع (مُفْتَعَل) is the place where people are gathered: society.
