Morphology

embodied = embody (transparent) = em + body + ed

Formed by adding the adjectival/participle suffix '-ed' to the verb 'embody', producing a standard participial adjective.

Etymology

Embodied comes from the parts em- meaning 'in' and body meaning 'body', so it literally means 'put into a body'. Think of an idea or quality stepping into a person or a statue — when it does, it is embodied.
