Its root in the classical dictionaries

أصل البيت: مأوى الإنسان بالليل، لأنه يقال: بات: أقام بالليل، كما يقال: ظل بالنهار ثم قد يقال للمسكن بيت من غير اعتبار الليل فيه، وجمعه أبيات وبيوت، لكن البيوت بالمسكن أخص، والأبيات بالشعر. قال عز وجل: فتلك بيوتهم خاوية بما ظلموا [النمل/ 52] ، وقال تعالى: واجعلوا بيوتكم قبلة [يونس/ 78] ، لا تدخلوا بيوتا غير بيوتكم…

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

البيت: مأوى الإنسان ليلا، هذا أصله لاشتقاقه من البيتوتة، ثم أطلق على كل منزل وإن لم يكن بالليل. وقيل: أصله مصدر يقال: بات يبيت بيتا. وسواء كان مبنيا باللبن ونحوه، أم من صوف أم شعر إلا أنه غلب في المبني جمعه على بيوت، وفي المنسوج على أبيات، وقد يجيء عكسه بقلة؛ قال الشاعر: [من الوافر]
