How the patterns shape this root
مَسَاء is the evening — مَسَاءُ الْخَيْرِ, good evening, with the reply مَسَاءُ النُّورِ — and مَسَاءً after a time means p.m. The root's weak letter turns into the hamza at the end of مَسَاء, and in مَسَائِيّ, evening-, it sits on a ي seat: مُحَاضَرَةٌ مَسَائِيَّةٌ, an evening lecture. Form IV أَمْسَى, 'to reach the evening', is used like أَصْبَحَ to mean 'to become', and an أُمْسِيَة is an evening event, a soirée.
