Given physical form or made tangible; represented in bodily or material form. It can also mean expressing or representing an idea or quality in physical form.
From Middle English, combining 'em-' (variant of 'en-', meaning 'in') with 'body' from Old English 'bodig.' The past participle form 'embodied' emerged in the 14th century. The concept evolved from purely physical manifestation to include abstract ideas taking concrete form.
