Etymology
'incorporable' originates from Latin, specifically from the Late Latin verb 'incorporare' (to embody), where the prefix 'in-' meant 'into' and 'corpus' meant 'body'.
'incorporare' passed into Medieval and Late Latin as 'incorporabilis' and via Middle French/Modern formation in English gave the adjective 'incorporable' meaning 'capable of being embodied or incorporated'.
Initially it meant 'to make into a body' or 'to embody'; over time it evolved into the adjectival sense 'capable of being incorporated' or 'able to be included'.
