Etymology
The word 'corporal' originated from the Latin word 'corporalis', meaning 'of the body'. It was first used in the military context to refer to a low-ranking officer in the 16th century. Over time, the adjective form also emerged to describe things related to the human body. Today, 'corporal' is commonly used both in military and formal contexts.
