How the patterns shape this root
اِشْتَرَى is to buy — a form VIII verb on a weak root: اِشْتَرَى، يَشْتَرِي، اِشْتَرِ; أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَ هَٰذَا, I want to buy this. شِرَاء is the purchase, مُشْتَرٍ (مُفْتَعِل) the buyer, and مُشْتَرَيَات (مُفْتَعَل) the things bought, your shopping. The old simple verb شَرَى meant both to sell and to buy, which is why Arabic reaches for form VIII to make the meaning clear.
