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] .
