Morphology
incarnate = incarnation (semi-transparent) = in + carn + ate
The elements in- (in) and -ate are productive but the central element 'carn' is a Latinate combining form (meaning 'flesh') that is not a standalone English word, so the meaning is not fully transparent to an average learner.
Etymology
The word incarnate comes from Latin parts in- meaning 'in' and carn- meaning 'flesh', the same root as in carnivore. So to call someone 'kindness incarnate' is to say they are 'in the flesh' of that quality — a living example.
