How the patterns shape this root

وَصَلَ is to arrive or to reach: وَصَلْتُ, I've arrived, and وُصُول is the arrivals hall's name. The same root is about connecting: form VIII اِتَّصَلَ بِـ is to get in touch, today mostly to phone — the و and ت fuse into تّ — and its noun اِتِّصَال is a call (شَرِكَةُ الِاتِّصَالَاتِ, the telecom company); مُتَّصِل is the caller, or 'connected'. Form VI تَوَاصَلَ is to keep in touch with each other, and وَسَائِلُ التَّوَاصُلِ الِاجْتِمَاعِيِّ is social media. مُوَاصَلَات, 'connections', is public transport, and a وَصْل is a receipt.
