Word origin
The word 'corpses' comes from the Middle English 'cors', which is derived from the Latin 'corpus' meaning 'body'. Over time, the term evolved to refer to dead bodies, particularly in the context of death and military organizations. The usage of 'corpses' in English literature and everyday language reflects the somber and sometimes gruesome aspects of mortality and human conflict.
