How the patterns shape this root
رَحْمَة is mercy, the quality that opens every chapter of the Quran: بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ, 'in the name of God, the Most Merciful (رَحْمَٰن, the state pattern فَعْلَان) and the Ever-Merciful (رَحِيم, فَعِيل)'. The verb رَحِمَ is to have mercy: يَرْحَمُكُمُ اللّٰهُ is said when someone sneezes, رَحِمَهُ اللّٰهُ when someone has died — so the مَرْحُوم (مَفْعُول) is the late, the deceased. Form VI تَرَاحَمَ is to show mercy to one another.
