'accorporate' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'accorporare,' where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'corporare' meant 'to form into a body.'

'accorporare' transformed into the Medieval Latin word 'accorporatus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'accorporate.'

Initially, it meant 'to form into a body,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to unite or incorporate into a body or mass.'
