Its root in the classical dictionaries

البر خلاف البحر، وتصور منه التوسع فاشتق منه البر، أي: التوسع في فعل الخير، وينسب ذلك إلى الله تعالى تارة نحو: إنه هو البر الرحيم

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

البر: خلاف البحر، ولتصور التوسع فيه أطلق على التوسع في الجنة فقيل: البر وهو ضد الجور. قال تعالى: ﴿إنه هو البر الرحيم﴾ [الطور: 28]. ومنه بر الوالدين وهو الإتساع في إكرامهما وطاعتهما. وقوله تعالى: ﴿ولكن البر من اتقى﴾ [البقرة: 189] في الآية تنبيه على أن هذه هي أفعال البر قولا وعملا واعتقادا.
