[3134] Bashar basically means human; humans are called bashar because of the skin (basharah) that covers their bodies, unlike animals and birds who are covered in feathers, hair, fur, wool, etc. (cf. al-Samīn al-Ḥalabī, ʿUmdat al-Ḥuffāẓ, al-Iṣfahānī, al-Mufradāt). Since mention here is of the origin of creation and what was to appear before the angels was this new creation covered in skin, I added the explicitation, ˹of skin˺, in my translation to give credence to the origin of the word.
