Its root in the classical dictionaries

لكنه أخص، قال الخليل رحمه الله: لا يقال الجسد لغير الإنسان من خلق الأرض ونحوه، وأيضا فإن الجسد ما له لون، والجسم يقال لما لا يبين له لون، كالماء والهواء.

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

الجسم: ما له طول وعرض وعمق. والجسمان: الشخص. والفرق بين الجسم والشخص أن الجسم وإن فرقت أجزاؤه فكل منها يقال له جسم. والشخص متى فرقت أجزاؤه زال عنها اسم الشخص.

    When thou lookest At them, their exteriors Please thee; and when They speak, thou listenest To their words.

The curse of God be On them! How are they Deluded (away from the Truth)!
