How the patterns shape this root

سَجَدَ is to prostrate — to put the forehead on the ground in prayer; سُجُود is the prostration and سَجْدَة one of them. The place of prostration is the مَسْجِد (مَفْعِل), the mosque, plural مَسَاجِد — الْمَسْجِدُ الْحَرَامُ is the Grand Mosque in Mecca. The سَجَّادَة (فَعَّالَة), a rug you prostrate on, is a prayer rug — and any carpet.
