Disembodies

/ˌdɪsɛmˈbɑːdiz/ verb

Definition

Third person singular present tense of disembody; separates the soul or spirit from the body, or removes physical form.

Etymology

From disembody (dis- + embody) + -ies, the third person singular marker. Embody means to give form to something abstract, so disembody reverses this.
