Its root is not attributed to the Semitic root for "man" -(n)-sh. Rather, ׳āḏām is linked to its triliteral root אָדָם (a-d-m), meaning "red", "fair", "handsome". As a masculine noun, 'adam means "man", "mankind" usually in a collective context as inhumankind. The noun 'adam is also the masculine form of the word adamahwhich means "ground" or "earth". It is related to the words: adom (red), admoni (ruddy), and dam (blood).
In the Book of Genesis, ׳āḏām can also be rendered "mankind" in the most generic sense, which is similar to its usage in Canaanite languages. The use of "mankind" in Genesis, gives the reflection that Adam was the ancestor of all men.
Kabbalistic works indicate that Adam also comes from the Hebrew word 'Adame', 'I should be similar', similar to God in having free will.
