Morphology
incorporate = in + corpor + ate
Although the word historically contains Latinate parts related to 'body' and 'corporation', a B1 learner is unlikely to derive the legal sense productively from modern English morphology.
Etymology
The word incorporate comes from Latin in- 'in' and corpor- from corpus 'body'. To incorporate a business is to give it its own 'body' or legal life, separate from the owners, which is why such a firm is called a corporation.
