One who has a body, or in specialized contexts, something that gives body or substance to something else.
From 'body' plus the agent suffix '-er', following English word-formation patterns. Rare in modern usage but represents the logical extension of 'body' as a verb meaning to give form or substance to.
This word is almost archaic, but it reveals how English speakers once thought about bodies as something you could give to an abstraction—you could be a 'bodier' of ideas, literally the one who makes them take physical form.
