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

'accorporare' transformed into the Old French word 'accorporacion,' and eventually became the modern English word 'accorporation.'

Initially, it meant 'to form into a body or group,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
