Root Explanation

Unbodied → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "bodied" (from Old English "bodig", meaning body). The word "unbodied" refers to something that does not have a physical body or form.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having a 'body' ('bodig') — that's why unbodied means lacking a physical form.
