How the patterns shape this root
مَرِضَ is to fall ill and مَرَض is the illness; the sick person is مَرِيض (فَعِيل), feminine مَرِيضَة, plural مَرْضَى. Form II مَرَّضَ does not mean to make ill but to look after the ill — so مُمَرِّض (مُفَعِّل) is the nurse, مُمَرِّضَة the female nurse, and تَمْرِيض is nursing. The adjective مَرَضِيّ appears in إِجَازَةٌ مَرَضِيَّةٌ, sick leave.
