How the patterns shape this root
جَمِيل (فَعِيل) is beautiful, جَمَال beauty, أَجْمَل more beautiful; form II جَمَّلَ is to make beautiful and تَجْمِيل is cosmetics. The same three letters hold two more words a beginner meets early: جَمَل, the camel — the Arabs' idea of a beautiful, complete creature — and جُمْلَة, a sentence, literally a 'whole' gathered together (بِالْجُمْلَةِ, wholesale). إِجْمَالِيّ is total, overall.
