Corporeal

/kɔrˈpɔriəl/ adjective

Definition

Having a physical body or material form that you can touch; not spiritual or abstract.

Etymology

From Latin corporeus, from corpus meaning 'body.' The word entered English in the 14th century and has maintained its meaning of relating to or having physical substance.

Kelly Says

Medieval philosophers argued endlessly about whether ghosts were corporeal or not—if they could be touched or move things, they might have bodies made of very subtle material rather than being pure spirits.
