Definition: | From 14th Century Latin incorporatus meaning "the action of uniting into one body having legal PERSONALITY according to some valid CHARTER". From the combination of ancient Latin in- "into" and corpus "body". By the 17th Century the word was also given a scientific meaning with "to put (something) into the body or substance of (something else)". |
