Morphology
corporate = corporation (semi-transparent) = corpor + ate
The sense 'acting together as a group' is related to the same root but is broader than the modern company sense, so learners may not fully derive this nuance from 'corporation' alone.
Etymology
Corporate comes from the Latin root corpus 'body', so it carries the idea of people acting together as one body. That's why a corporate action is something done by a group or organization.
