How the patterns shape this root
خَيْر is goodness: صَبَاحُ الْخَيْرِ wishes a morning of goodness, and the answer to 'how are you?' is بِخَيْرٍ, 'in goodness', fine. خَيْرِيّ is charitable. Choosing is picking the good: form VIII اِخْتَارَ is to choose (a hollow root, so اِخْتَارَ، يَخْتَارُ، اِخْتَرْ), اِخْتِيَار is the choice, خِيَار an option, and مُخْتَار (مُفْتَعَل) what has been chosen.
