How the patterns shape this root
شَفَى is to heal: شَفَاكَ اللّٰهُ, may God heal you, is said to anyone ill, and شِفَاء is the cure. Form X اِسْتَشْفَى is to seek a cure, and the place where that is done is مُسْتَشْفَى (مُسْتَفْعَل), the hospital — the root's final ي becomes ـَى at the end. The shorter مَشْفَى (مَفْعَل) means the same thing.
