How the patterns shape this root

وَاحِد is one. Sunday, الْأَحَد, is 'day one' from the same root: its و turned into a hamza, as happened in أَحَد, anyone. وَحْدَة is a unit or unity, وَحِيد (فَعِيل) is only or alone, and وَحْدَهُ is 'by himself'. Form II وَحَّدَ is to make one, and its noun تَوْحِيد is the heart of Islamic belief, that God is one. Form VIII اِتَّحَدَ is to unite (the و and ت fuse into تّ): مُتَّحِد united, as in الْأُمَمُ الْمُتَّحِدَةُ.
