Very weak lots of diamonds. Maybe only five depending on how offshape 2NT maybe and how weak partner is.

It is not something you should think about here. You showed your hand, partner made the decision.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

~0-5, 5+♦, <4♣

I want my opponents to leave my table with a smile on their face and without matchpoints on their score card - in that order.

Partner has a hand that wants to play in 3D opposite a strong balanced hand. I would bid 3NT looking at, say,
Axx
Axx
AKxx
Axx
otherwise I will do what he wants me to do, and pass.

Partner has a hand with 5+♦ which doesn't want to play 3NT opposite the hand you promissed.

If I had to guess,
4-2-6-1 pattern, missing the Ace and King of diamonds, and no heart honors. Maybe ♠Jxxx ♥xx ♦Q10xxxx ♣x?

p 2d bid had a significant range anywhere from
xxx xxx xxxx xxx to say xxx xx KQJxx xx
the 3d bid says I hate 2n and my hand is only good
for 3d opposite your 2n bid so it is near the bottom
range could look as bad as
xx xx xxxxx xxx up to maybe xx Qx Qxxxxx xxx
certainly not much better-- i would not expect
as much as a 6 card suit headed by the K much
less the A.

Doesn't matter what's partner's pattern. You have a clear-cut pass. You have already overstated your strength. Partner was forced to bid 2♦ and promised nothing. You are arguably below the bottom of the 2NT call.

Also West thinks you can't make 2NT. Leaves very little for North.
