Its root in the classical dictionaries

بعض الشيء: جزء منه، ويقال ذلك بمراعاة كل، ولذلك يقابل به كل، فيقال: بعضه وكله، وجمعه أبعاض. قال عز وجل: بعضكم لبعض عدو [البقرة/ 36] ، وكذلك نولي بعض الظالمين بعضا [الأنعام/ 129] ، ويلعن بعضكم بعضا [العنكبوت/ 25] ، وقد بعضت كذا: جعلته أبعاضا نحو جزأته. قال أبو عبيدة:
