Plural of bushbody, possibly referring to the physical bodies of bushmen (indigenous peoples of African regions) or bodies covered in bush vegetation.
Compound of 'bush' and 'bodies,' though the exact historical usage is unclear. Could reference colonial-era descriptions of indigenous populations or physical conditions.
This term, if used historically for indigenous peoples, represents the problematic language colonizers used to dehumanize others—understanding outdated terminology helps us recognize and reject such biased descriptions today.
