How the patterns shape this root
وَرَق is paper — and leaves, because the first writing sheets looked like leaves. One sheet, or one document, is وَرَقَة with the unit ة; the plural أَوْرَاق is the pattern أَفْعَال. The ending ـِيّ gives وَرَقِيّ, 'paper-' as in a paper copy; the stationer who sells it is a وَرَّاق (فَعَّال), and form IV أَوْرَقَ is what a tree does in spring: it puts out leaves.
