Definition
  1. Adjective:
    • Having a body or physical form: Describes something that possesses a body or exists in a tangible, physical state.
    • Having a body of a specified kind: Often used in combination with another word to describe the nature or type of body something has.
Usage
  • The adjective "bodied" is primarily used in two ways:
    • As a standalone adjective to indicate the state of having a physical form.
    • More commonly, as the second element in a compound adjective (e.g., "full-bodied," "able-bodied") to specify a particular quality of the body.
Examples
  • As a standalone adjective:

    • The poet described the bodied spirit visiting him in a dream.

Advanced Usage
