How the patterns shape this root

The root means being truthful, and a صَدِيق (فَعِيل) is the friend you can trust — plural أَصْدِقَاء, feminine صَدِيقَة, friendship صَدَاقَة. صِدْق is honesty and صَادِق the honest person; صَدَقْتَ, 'you have spoken truly', means you're right. A صَدَقَة is charity given sincerely. Form II صَدَّقَ is to accept something as true — to believe someone, or to certify a document, so تَصْدِيق is the attestation your degree needs.
