Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin word incarnatio, formed from the prefix in- (in, into) and caro (flesh, stem carn-). Entering Middle English in the 14th century via Old French, the term originally denoted the theological embodiment of divinity in human flesh before broadening to signify the personification of an abstract quality or a new phase of existence.
