How the patterns shape this root
سَارَ is to move along — to walk or travel — a hollow root: سَارَ، يَسِيرُ، سِرْ. سَيْر is the movement, so حَرَكَةُ السَّيْرِ is the traffic. The machine pattern فَعَّالَة gives سَيَّارَة, the car, 'the thing that goes and goes'; سَيَّارَةُ أُجْرَةٍ, a hire car, is the taxi. مَسَار (مَفْعَل) is a route, مَسِيرَة a march or a career, and سِيرَة the course of a life — a biography, or your CV, السِّيرَةُ الذَّاتِيَّةُ.
