How the patterns shape this root
The root is 'to stand still'. وَقَفَ is to stop or to stand; its command قِفْ! loses the و. The place of stopping is مَوْقِف (pattern مَفْعِل), a bus stop or a parking spot. Form V تَوَقَّفَ is to come to a halt yourself; form IV أَوْقَفَ is to make something stop — to pull over or park a car. A وَقْف is property 'stopped' from sale so that its benefit serves others: the Islamic endowment.
