Corporeality
The word corporeality is composed of the components corporeal (in the sense of body ), -haftig- (in the sense of possessing ) and the suffix -keit as a characteristic of a noun . Corporeality accordingly means having a body , being in the body .
Incarnate is often applied to the devil , who is then called the incarnate . This expresses that the devil, although a disembodied spirit like the angels , can appear as a real person with non-divine corporeality and thus cause horror and evil.
Also, the death is not uncommon in this way personified ( incarnate death ).
When people appear unexpectedly, one likes to say: She was standing in front of me in person (not just in my imagination) .
