Corporosity

/ˌkɔrpəˈrɑsɪti/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being thick, dense, or having substantial bodily mass; physical density.

Etymology

From Latin corporosus (bulky, massive) + -ity (state). The term emphasizes the density and thickness of physical substance rather than mere physical existence.

Kelly Says

Old scientists used corporosity to describe why some materials felt heavy and dense—they thought denser objects had more 'corporosity,' more concentrated bodily substance packed together.
