How the patterns shape this root
The root's old sense is cutting through — جَابَ is to roam a country — and an answer cuts through a question. Form IV أَجَابَ is to answer: أَجِبْ عَنِ السُّؤَالِ, answer the question; a hollow root, so its noun is إِجَابَة with ة, the word on every exam paper (الْإِجَابَةُ الصَّحِيحَةُ), and جَوَاب is the answer itself, plural أَجْوِبَة. Form X اِسْتَجَابَ is to respond to a request or a prayer, اِسْتِجَابَة the response.
