Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the verb 'embody', combining the prefix 'en-' (changed to 'em-' before a bilabial) meaning 'put into' with 'body' (from Old English 'bodi'). Historically evolving in the late 16th century, it shifted from meaning the physical granting of a body to an abstract spirit, to representing an idea, quality, or feeling in a visible, concrete form.
