Etymology
بَشَرِيّ is the relational adjective of بَشَر, 'mankind.' Both derive from the Semitic root b-sh-r, which also gives بَشَرَة, 'skin.' Arab grammarians connect the words through the visible outer skin that marks human beings. The same root yields بِشارة, 'good tidings,' from the way good news brightens the face.
