How the patterns shape this root
شَهْر is the month, plural شُهُور or أَشْهُر; شَهْرِيّ is monthly — a monthly salary, a monthly ticket. The same root means being seen by all: the new moon that starts the month was 'made visible'. So مَشْهُور (مَفْعُول) is famous, 'seen by everyone', شُهْرَة is fame, and form VIII اِشْتَهَرَ بِـ is to become famous for something.
