How the patterns shape this root

شَرِبَ is to drink — أَشْرَبُ الْقَهْوَةَ, I drink coffee. شُرْب is drinking (مَاءُ الشُّرْبِ, drinking water), شَرَاب is a drink and مَشْرُوب (مَفْعُول, 'what is drunk') is the word on menus, plural مَشْرُوبَات. The doer شَارِب (فَاعِل) is the drinker — and also a moustache, which sits where one drinks. مَشْرَب (مَفْعَل) is a drinking place, and by extension a person's taste.
