How the patterns shape this root
طَعَام is food, and the place of food on مَفْعَل is مَطْعَم, the restaurant (plural مَطَاعِم). طَعْم is taste — the root is really about tasting. Form IV أَطْعَمَ is to feed: to make someone eat. Form II طَعَّمَ meant to graft a tree and now means to vaccinate, so تَطْعِيم, the word on your health card, is a vaccination.
