How the patterns shape this root

شُكْرًا, thank you, is the short noun شُكْر, 'thanks', in the accusative — 'with thanks'. The verb شَكَرَ is to thank (أَشْكُرُكَ, I thank you); the one who thanks is شَاكِر (فَاعِل) and the one who is thanked is مَشْكُور (مَفْعُول), a word Saudis use to say 'much obliged'. The intensive pattern فَعُول gives شَكُور, deeply grateful. The reply to thanks, عَفْوًا, comes from another root (ع-ف-و).
