Etymology
Corporatist comes from the Latin corpus meaning 'body' and is the same root as corporation and corporate. It describes ideas or systems that treat society as made of organized 'bodies'—for example businesses and labor groups—that have a formal role in government or the economy, which is why a corporatist system gives these groups official power.
