How the patterns shape this root
Everything in س-ل-م is about being safe and whole. سَلَام is the state of peace, so the greeting السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ wishes peace on you; سَلَامَة is safety, which is why سَلَامَتَكَ means 'get well' and مَعَ السَّلَامَةِ 'go in safety', goodbye. Form II سَلَّمَ is to give peace — to greet — or to hand something over; form IV أَسْلَمَ is to give oneself over to God, and its doer مُسْلِم (pattern مُفْعِل) is the one who does so.
