Root Explanation

Incorporeity → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "corpus" (from Latin, meaning body) and the suffix "-ity" (meaning the state or condition of). The word "incorporeity" refers to the state of being without a physical body or lacking corporeal existence.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not having a body' — 'in-' means not, 'corpus' means body, and '-ity' indicates a state. This helps you remember that incorporeity refers to the condition of being without a physical form.
