Conversation

I was reading about how to start a business, and they mentioned the term incorporator.

Oh really? What does an incorporator do exactly?

They are the ones who help to officially form the company and file all the paperwork.

That sounds important! I didn’t know it was a specific role.

Root Explanation

Incorporator → It is formed from "in-" (meaning into) and "corporare" (meaning to form into a body or incorporate) and the suffix "-or" (meaning one who). The word "incorporator" refers to one who forms something into a body or organization.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is bringing things 'into' ('in-') a 'body' ('corporare') — that's why an incorporator is someone who forms an organization.
