and
بِشَارَةٌ and
بُشَارَةٌ [but respecting this last see بِشَارَةٌ below] and
بُشْرٌ are substs. from بَشَّرَهُ [originally signifying An annunciation which produces a change in the
بَشَرَة of the person to whom it is made: and hence, a joyful annunciation; joyful, or glad, tidings; good news]: and
تَبَاشِيرُ [q. v. infrà] signifies the same as بُشْرَى:
بِشَارَةٌ , when used absolutely, relates only to good; not to evil unless when expressly restricted thereto by an adjunct: [see 2:] its pl. is بِشَارَاتٌ and بَشَائِرُ.
