corpóreo
corporeal, bodily
adjective kohr-POH-reh-oh Rare
Origin: Latin corporeus, from corpus (body).
Usage Note
Corpóreo is a formal or philosophical term contrasting with incorpóreo (incorporeal). It describes anything having a physical body, so a ghost is incorpóreo while a living person is corpóreo. The accent on the first 'o' is essential; dropping it produces corporeo, which is not standard Spanish.
Examples
"El dolor es una experiencia corpórea."
Natural Translation
Pain is a corporeal experience.
