Etymology
جِسْم comes from the Semitic root ج-س-م, which carries the sense of a corporeal mass or bulk. The same root surfaces in Aramaic and later Hebrew with the meaning of body or material substance. In modern Arabic it is the standard word for the physical body and, in science, for any physical object.
