dead bodies of human beings.
From Latin 'corpus' meaning body. The same root gives us 'corporation' (a legal body), 'corps' (a body of soldiers), and 'corpse' originally just meant 'body' before becoming specifically a dead one.
The word 'corpse' and 'corps' (a military unit) and 'corporation' all share the Latin root 'corpus' meaning body—so a corporation is a 'legal body' and a corps is a 'body of soldiers'!
