How the patterns shape this root
س-ع-د is good fortune. سَعِيد (فَعِيل) is happy, plural سُعَدَاء, and سَعَادَة is happiness — بِكُلِّ سَعَادَةٍ means 'with pleasure'. Form IV أَسْعَدَ is to make someone happy: يُسْعِدُنِي. Form III سَاعَدَ, to help, comes from the forearm (سَاعِد) you lend; سَاعِدْنِي is 'help me', مُسَاعَدَة is help and مُسَاعِد (مُفَاعِل) an assistant. The country's name السُّعُودِيَّة comes from the family name آل سُعُود, 'the fortunate ones'.
