Its root in the classical dictionaries

البشرة: ظاهر الجلد، والأدمة: باطنه، كذا قال عامة الأدباء، وقال أبو زيد بعكس ذلك ، وغلطه أبو العباس وغيره، وجمعها: بشر وأبشار، وعبر عن الإنسان بالبشر اعتبارا بظهور جلده من الشعر، بخلاف الحيوانات التي عليها الصوف أو الشعر أو الوبر، واستوى في لفظ البشر الواحد والجمع، وثني فقال تعالى: أنؤمن لبشرين [المؤمنون/ 47] .

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿لواحة للبشر﴾ [المدثر: 29]. البشر: الخلق، سموا بشرا اعتبارا بظهور جلدهم من الشعر والصوف والوبر بخلاف الحيوانات فإنها مستترة بما ذكر. وذلك أن البشرة ظاهر الجلد، والأدمة: باطنه، نقله الراغب عن عامة الأدباء. وجمعها بشر وأبشار.
