How the patterns shape this root
ق-ر-ب is nearness. قَرِيب (pattern فَعِيل) is near, and because family members are 'the near ones' it also means a relative, plural أَقْرِبَاء. أَقْرَب is nearer or nearest — ask for أَقْرَبُ مُسْتَشْفَى. Form VIII اِقْتَرَبَ is to come closer by yourself, form II قَرَّبَ is to bring something closer, and تَقْرِيبًا, 'by approximation', means almost.
