Why this word is great

UNBODY — [Verb] To leave the body or to free from the body; to become or make disembodied. From the English prefix un- (expressing reversal or deprivation) + body. Unlike "disembody," which implies a violent or external severance, or "incorporeal," which describes a static condition, to unbody is a quiet, volitional process of shedding. It is the soul's gentle abdication: the last, weightless exhalation of a monk in meditation, the fading warmth of a wrist after the pulse has ceased, or the way a long-held grief finally loosens its physical anchor. It is not an end, but an unfastening.
