Disbodied

/dɪsˈbɒdid/ adjective

Definition

Separated from or lacking a physical body; incorporeal or ghostly.

Etymology

From 'dis-' (meaning to separate) combined with 'bodied' (having a body). Related to 'disembodied' but less commonly used.

Kelly Says

This is essentially an older or alternative form of 'disembodied,' showing how English had multiple ways to describe spirits or abstract concepts without physical form.
