How the patterns shape this root
طِبّ is medicine, the science of healing — كُلِّيَّةُ الطِّبِّ, the medical school. The doctor is طَبِيب (فَعِيل), feminine طَبِيبَة, plural أَطِبَّاء; the two ب of the root merge with shadda in طِبّ and separate again in طَبِيب. طِبِّيّ is medical, as in a medical report, and form V تَطَبَّبَ is to go looking for treatment.
