+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|corpus|-eus|t1=body]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Köbler 2010) De Vaan traces [[m|la|corpus]] to [[itc-pro|*korp-os-]] and [[ine-pro|*ḱrp-os-|t=body]], with cognates in [[ae|kəhrp-|t=figure, body]] and [[ang|hrif|t=belly, womb]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means having a body, corporeal or material: Cicero's ''Timaeus'' has ''corporeum et aspectābile itemque tractābile'', bodily, visible and tangible, and Lewis & Short find it rare but classical and most frequent in Lucretius.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012) It also means made of flesh, as Ovid has of a shoulder that had once been of flesh,^(OLD 2012) and relating to the body, bodily, as Cicero has of the bodily fire that preserves life.^(OLD 2012) A gloss defines the ''corporeum'' as what has a body, such as an animal or a man.^(TLL) English [[m|en|corporeal]] is built on it in the 1610s.^(Etymonline)
