Why “corporeity” is a great word
CORPOREITY — [Noun] The quality or state of having a physical, material body; bodily substance. From Medieval Latin corporeitās, from Latin corporeus ("bodily, corporeal"), from corpus ("body"). First attested in English in the early 17th century. Unlike "incorporeity," its spectral opposite, or "corporeality," an abstract condition, corporeity is the blunt, substantive fact of the body itself. It is the heft of a wet stone in the hand, the resistance of a closed door against a shoulder, and the specific, solid ache in a bone that has borne weight for decades—the undeniable witness of existence against the dissolving pull of time.
