How the patterns shape this root
The old meaning is driving animals forward; today سَاقَ is to drive a car, and the driver is سَائِق on the doer pattern فَاعِل (the و of the root becomes a hamza seat: سَاوِق → سَائِق). The سُوق, the market, is where goods were driven and traded; from it form V تَسَوَّقَ means to go shopping and its noun تَسَوُّق is shopping, as in مَرْكَزُ التَّسَوُّقِ, the mall.
